• Cone indenter
• Shore sclerescope
• Rock cutting set-up (planer + force dynamometer + carrier amplifier + U.V. recorder + precise electronic balance).

These equipments are used for the following laboratory experiments:

1. Cone indenter and shore sclerescope tests to estimate the compressive strength and the cuttability of rocks.
2. Direct cutting test to determine the cutting specific energy and the cuttability of rocks
