Lathe Tool Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TOMLE-11879
Quick Answer: The Lathe Tool is a two-component strain gauge lathe tool dynamometer that measures the vertical and horizontal forces on the tool during orthogonal cutting. Readings from 0 to 500 kg appear on a digital indicator, and cutting fluid can be used while it runs.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Tool holder with strain gauges acts as the mechanical sensing unit.
Mounts on top of the cross slide once the swivel base and compound slide of the lathe are removed.
Supplied with a half-inch HSS tool.
Control panel with a digital indicator showing both forces at once, balancing potentiometers and connecting cable.
Switches, fuses and a polycarbonate front plate on the panel.
Range 0–500 kg; cutting fluid may be used during operation.

About This Product
Students fit the tool holder to the lathe in place of the compound slide, take orthogonal cuts and note how the vertical and horizontal force readings move as speed, depth of cut and feed are changed. A sensitive transducing and amplifying chain feeds the compact indicator, and because the unit tolerates cutting fluid, trials can be run wet or dry. A three-component version of the lathe tool dynamometer is also offered.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Lathe Tool fitted to the lathe?
The swivel base and compound slide are removed and the tool holder, which carries the strain gauges, is mounted on top of the cross slide.
Can cutting fluid be used during tests?
Yes, cutting fluid can be used during operation, so turning trials need not be run dry.
Is a three-component model available?
Yes. Besides this two-component unit, which reads vertical and horizontal forces, a three-component lathe tool dynamometer is also available.
