        abstract = {Sustainable manufacturing practices have 
gained prominence due to the rising costs of raw 
materials and the need to reduce industrial waste. This 
study explores the feasibility of fabricating a lathe 
cutting tool using industrial scrap and evaluates its 
performance through real-time cutting force 
measurements using a lathe dynamometer. Scrap high
speed steel components were selected, reshaped, and 
heat-treated to produce functional single-point cutting 
tools. Turning operations were conducted under 
controlled machining parameters, and cutting forces 
were recorded along tangential, radial, and axial 
directions. Results indicated that the scrap-based tool 
performed comparably to standard HSS tools under 
moderate loads, with acceptable wear characteristics. 
This project demonstrates a cost-effective and 
environmentally responsible approach to tool 
manufacturing and machining validation.},
