Effective monitoring of machining processes requires robust and cost-effective sensors capable of capturing dynamic forces. This study investigates a turning tool holder with an integrated 2.4 GHz resonant surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor for measuring cutting forces under varying feed rate conditions. Reference measurements were performed using a calibrated dynamometer. The comparison between the SAW sensor and the dynamometer data revealed strong agreement, confirming that the integrated sensor captures the progression of the cutting force. These results demonstrate the potential of SAW-based sensor technology for real-time monitoring of forces in machining processes.
