An NC unit calculates the phase difference in chatter vibration during working on the basis of detection result of sound produced by working a workpiece by an end mill, increases the number of rotations of the end mill by a predetermined number if the phase difference is smaller than a first phase difference threshold, and decreases the number of rotations of the end mill by a predetermined number if the phase difference is larger than a second phase difference threshold. Further, if the phase difference is between the first phase difference threshold and the second phase difference threshold, the NC unit finds the resonance frequency of a machine tool by multiplying a chatter frequency by a correction factor that changes according to the chatter frequency, and calculates the number of rotations of the end mill on the basis of the resonance frequency, to obtain stable working with suppressed chatter vibration.
