The design of an extremely simple, cheap, six component dynamometer is described. It was originally designed for use on gear cutting machinery but is now used for many other purposes. The characteristics have been estimated and the test results are as expected. Its versatility is such that different versions can measure from ounces to hundreds of tons, and it supersedes all other designs for the majority of machining force measurements.
