Lathe Tool Dynamometers
Product Code : EL-TOML-11035
Quick Answer: Lathe Tool Dynamometers are strain gauge type, two component units that measure the vertical and horizontal forces on the tool during orthogonal cutting on a lathe. The tool holder carries strain gauges and an H.S.S. tool of ½" size, and the digital force indicator reads both forces, with a range up to 500 kg.

About This Product
The unit comes in two parts: a mechanical sensing unit that mounts on the cross slide of the lathe in place of the swivel base and compound slide, and a control panel with the digital force indicator. Students change speed, cut and feed and watch how the vertical and horizontal forces respond, with cutting fluid in use if required. A three component lathe tool dynamometer is also available for the THEORY OF MACHINE LAB.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Where is the dynamometer mounted on the lathe?
The tool holder mounts on the cross slide after the swivel base and compound slide of the lathe have been removed.
Q2. Which forces does it measure?
The vertical and horizontal forces on the tool during orthogonal cutting, both shown at the same time on the digital force indicator.
Q3. Is a three component version available?
Yes, a three component lathe tool dynamometer is also available.
