Claim:
1. A device for use in a machining system, comprising: (a) an ultrasonic transducer having a known nodal position, wherein the ultrasonic transducer is adapted to receive a machining tool, and wherein the ultrasonic transducer includes: (b) a vibration-isolating housing adapted to be both compatible with a machining system and to receive the ultrasonic transducer therein, wherein the housing further includes a spring-like feature formed radially therein above the front mass, wherein the spring-like feature further includes a curved and thinned section of the housing, and wherein the curved and thinned section of the housing is operative to permit flexion in the housing for isolating all vibrations generated by the ultrasonic transducer when the device is in operation except axial vibrations transmitted to the machining tool, thereby preventing unwanted vibrations from traveling backward or upward into the machining system; and (c) an internal sealing system, wherein the internal sealing system includes:
