Abstract
A cutting tool holder assembly comprises a body having a shaft non-rotatably mounted therein for axial movement to enable adjustment of a cutting tool on a cutting tool holder member carried by the shaft. Strain gauge elements are mounted on a blade which is arranged to be deflected upon relative movement between the shaft and the body. The strain gauge elements produce an output signal proportional to the deflection of the blade.
