Lathe Tool Dynamometers
Product Code : EL-TOML-11035
The Lathe Tool Dynamometer from Lab Exports is a strain gauge type, two-component dynamometer designed to measure vertical and horizontal cutting forces during an orthogonal cutting process on a lathe. It allows students to study how these forces change with variations in speed, depth of cut and feed.
