LATHE TOOL

This is a strain gauge type two component lathe tool dynamometer designed to measure vertical and horizontal forces on the while orthogonal cutting process. The unit is in two parts one is mechanical sensing unit or tool holder, which can be mounted on the top of the Ross slide after removing swivel base and compound slide of a lathe and digital force indicator.With this Dynamometer student can study the change in these forces by varying Speed, Cut and Feed.
