Abstract
This paper presents the development of dynamometer to measure cutting force in turning operation in particular the tangential force (Ft). The dynamometer utilises a straight bar load cell that connected to holder tool to measure at least one axis of force. The designed dynamometer is capable of computing the forces acting on the workpiece in turning operation using any data acquisition system. Two materials of low elastic modulus, Polyoxymethylene (POM) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), were employed as workpieces to test the performance of dynamometer. The performance of the dynamometer to measure one axis of cutting forces is considered satisfactory mainly because of the simplicity and low cost are the main requirements in design and construction.
