Grinder Tool
Product Code : LSK-TOMLE-10628
Grinder Tool (SKU LSK-TOMLE-10628) is a grinding tool dynamometer: a strain-gauge sensing unit and a two-channel digital force indicator that measure the forces produced while a surface grinder removes metal. Mechanical engineering students use it in metal-cutting and tool-design practicals to study real cutting forces. Engineering colleges, polytechnics, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can obtain it through Science Lab Supplies, which dispatches it from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The table sets out each listed specification of this octagonal-ring grinding dynamometer. In short, two strain-gauged octagonal rings in a rigid, compact sensing unit carry the grinding load, and the two-channel digital indicator shows both force components at once, with balancing potentiometers for setting each channel before a run.

Applications and Experiments for the Grinder Tool Dynamometer
This dynamometer measures the two force components generated during surface grinding and shows how they respond to depth of cut, feed, speed and work material. It fits metal-cutting practicals in B.Tech and diploma mechanical engineering and demonstrations in vocational training equipment programmes for machining.
- B.Tech / B.E. mechanical engineering: grinding-force measurement in the metal-cutting laboratory.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: machine-tool practicals on a surface grinder.
- Plotting how each cutting parameter changes the two measured forces.
- ITI and TVET machining courses: instructor-led demonstrations.
The unit needs a surface grinding machine to work on. Where a workshop has none, the Reciprocating Spindle Surface Grinder or the High Precision Surface Grinder can be quoted alongside it.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises the mechanical sensing unit with its two strain-gauged octagonal rings and the two-channel digital force indicator with balancing potentiometers and polycarbonate front plate. Not included: the surface grinding machine and the 230 V stabilised power supply, which the laboratory provides.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a single dynamometer or several units for a complete machine-tool laboratory, and each one sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. The lathe, drilling and milling dynamometers from this range can join the same quotation for a full TVET workshop equipment list.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Grinder Tool measure?
It measures two force components during surface grinding, up to 200 kg in each coordinate direction, using strain-gauged octagonal rings. Both readings appear together on the digital indicator, so students can compare them for each set of cutting conditions.
What is needed to run this dynamometer?
A surface grinding machine and a 230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz stabilised power supply. Neither is part of the set; both are provided by the laboratory that installs the unit.
Who supplies the Grinder Tool?
Science Lab Supplies is the supplier, and the dynamometer is dispatched from Ambala, India. Engineering colleges and training institutes can order it directly, while tender contractors and distributors receive the same item-wise quotation for their own bids.
Can it be quoted for a college or TVET tender?
Yes. Share the tender specification, quantity and delivery location, and an item-wise quotation will be prepared against the specification table above, with the lathe, drilling or milling dynamometers added where the tender covers them.
