Milling Tool
Product Code : LSK-TOMLE-10627
Milling Tool (SKU LSK-TOMLE-10627) is a three-component milling dynamometer: a strain-gauged sensing unit and a digital indicator that together show the cutting forces in three directions while a milling machine is cutting. Students use it to see how depth of cut, feed, speed and material change those forces. It reaches engineering colleges, polytechnics, tender contractors and distributors through Science Lab Supplies, which supplies it from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Sensing unit, indicator and service needs of this milling dynamometer occupy one row each below. In short, octagonal rings with strain gauges sit between two mild-steel plates in a 300 x 300 mm unit, and a three-channel digital indicator with balancing potentiometers shows all three forces, each from 0 to 500 kg.

Applications and Experiments for the Milling Tool Dynamometer
With the sensing unit set up on the milling machine, students take cuts at different depths, feeds and speeds and read the three force components simultaneously. Plotting force against each parameter shows how cutting conditions and work material drive tool load and power in milling.
- B.Tech/B.E. production engineering: measurement of milling forces in three directions.
- Machining science: effect of depth of cut, feed and speed on cutting forces.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: strain-gauge force measurement in practice, with multi-channel bridge readings explored on a Digital Strain Display.
- Sensor theory: quarter, half and full-bridge connections taught first on the Strain Gauge Trainer.
Despite its short name, the Milling Tool is a milling force dynamometer, not a cutting tool.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises the mechanical sensing unit with its octagonal rings and strain gauges between M.S. plates, and the three-channel digital force indicator. Not included: the milling machine with automatic feed and its tooling, which the laboratory provides.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be issued for one dynamometer or for a set covering milling, turning, drilling and grinding, with packing, delivery time and price stated for the quantity. Science Lab Supplies, as a TVET lab equipment supplier, can put the other versions on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Describe your milling machine and its feed arrangement on the contact page, keep this unit in the enquiry cart with the other dynamometers, or use the lab tender page for tender orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Milling Tool measure?
It measures the cutting force in three coordinate directions during milling, each over 0 to 500 kg, shown together on a three-channel digital indicator.
Is a milling machine included?
No. The service requirements list a milling machine with automatic feed and tooling, plus a 230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz stabilised supply.
Who supplies the Milling Tool dynamometer?
Science Lab Supplies does, from Ambala, India, preparing quotations for colleges, polytechnics and contractors that need cutting-force measurement in a milling lab.
How do octagonal rings measure force?
Cutting forces slightly deform the rings, and the strain gauges fixed on them convert that strain into electrical signals, which the indicator displays as force.
