Abstract
A sensor element for a cutting tool () has a hard portion () having a sensing surface (), first and second electrodes (), first and second sets of thermocouple wires () and an electrically insulating portion. The first and second electrodes () are arranged to allow electric current to flow when the sensing surface () contacts external material in response to the cutting tool engaging the external material. A first thermocouple junction () is operable to indicate a temperature of the first electrode and a second thermocouple junction () is operable to measure temperature of the second electrode.
