Abstract
A tool received in a tool holding fixture of a tool holder includes a tool shank defining a recess and a force sensor arranged in the recess. During operation of the tool, the force sensor measures a tool force exerted by the tool shank onto the tool holder. A method for measuring a tool force by using the tool includes the steps of: arranging the force sensor between the tool shank and the tool holding fixture; clamping the force sensor by means of a clamping device of the tool holding fixture; operating the tool; and using the force sensor to measure the tool force exerted by the tool shank onto the tool holder.
