In order to ensure a reliable process cycle with high machining quality, monitoring systems are required that can continuously identify actual machining conditions and respond to unexpected disturbances with remedial action in good time. The implementation of automatic process parameters requires reliable in-process measurement of the process parameters. Critical process variables of interest in machining include tool wear, surface finish, vibration, chip breakage, etc. The critical problem that must be overcome is the development of robust sensors and effective monitoring techniques. The paper focuses on the configuration of the force system, requirements for an accurate force measurement and the development of a calibration device that allows a 3-axis simultaneous calibration. The effect of precision calibration on experimental results is demonstrated. Based on the measurement and anal
