Tool Dynamometers
Product Code : LSK-TOMLE-10626
Tool Dynamometers (SKU LSK-TOMLE-10626) are multi-component machine-tool dynamometers that measure the forces acting on a cutting tool while a machine is working, so values calculated from empirical cutting formulas can be checked by experiment. Versions are offered for grinding, drilling, turning and milling. Production engineering and machining labs use them in metal-cutting practicals. Colleges, polytechnics, tender contractors and distributors can source the range through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The Tool Dynamometers table records the four versions and what they measure. In short, each is a multi-component dynamometer that reads the forces on the cutting tool while a grinder, drill, lathe or mill is working; force range, sensing unit, indicator and mounting are confirmed on the quotation for the version chosen.

Applications and Experiments for Tool Dynamometers
Tool dynamometers let students measure cutting-force components while changing depth of cut, feed or speed, then compare the results with forces predicted by standard metal-cutting equations. The same method applies across turning, drilling, milling and grinding, so one lab can cover all four processes.
- B.Tech/B.E. production and mechanical: metal-cutting force measurement practicals.
- Machining science: effect of depth of cut, feed and speed on cutting forces.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: verifying empirical force calculations.
- Sensor background: the individual versions use strain gauges, whose bridge connections can be taught first on the Strain Gauge Trainer, with gauges for student-built rigs from the Strain Gauge Kit.
Tests are run on a working machine tool, so normal machine-shop safety applies: guards in place, eye protection, and supervision throughout.
Standard Scope of Supply
Tool Dynamometers are supplied as the version you specify: grinder, drilling, lathe or milling. Each quotation names the version together with its indicator and accessories. The machine tool on which the dynamometer is mounted is not included and is provided by the institute.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order one version or a full set of four for a metal-cutting lab; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for each. As a TVET lab equipment supplier, Science Lab Supplies can add related theory of machines apparatus to the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Name the machine tools in your workshop on the contact page, add the versions you want to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page when the order is tendered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Tool Dynamometers are available?
Four versions are offered: grinder, drilling, lathe and milling tool dynamometers, each measuring the forces on the tool during that machining process.
What force range does each version cover?
The range depends on the version; the milling version, for example, reads 0 to 500 kg in each direction. Tell us the machine and version you need through the contact page and the quotation will state it.
Who supplies the Tool Dynamometers?
All four versions are available from Science Lab Supplies, which supplies them from Ambala, India to engineering colleges, polytechnics and contractors equipping metal-cutting labs.
Is a machine tool included?
No. Each dynamometer is mounted on the institute's existing lathe, drilling machine, milling machine or grinder, which must be available before the force tests can be run.
Related Dynamometers and Machine Tools
Each dynamometer version has its own page, and each works on a machine tool. These items from the Theory of Machine Lab Equipments and Metal Manufacturing Training Machine ranges cover the four versions plus lathes, mills, drills and grinders from the workshop range, all on one quotation.
- Milling Tool — three-channel digital indicator showing forces in three directions, each up to 500 kg.
- Lathe Tool — two-component strain-gauge tool holder fitted on the cross slide in place of the compound slide.
- Drilling Tool — measures thrust and torque for holes up to 25 mm in mild steel.
- Grinder Tool — two octagonal rings with strain gauges and a two-channel force indicator.
- Center Lathe Machine — eight spindle speeds from 30 to 325 rpm.
- Universal Milling Machine — 600 mm longitudinal feed by hand and automatic.
