        abstract = {The increasing demand to sustainable manufacturing technologies Encouraged industries and researchers to develop organically friendly machining techniques capable to reduce pollution, to minimize lubricant consumption, and improvement machining efficiency. Conventional machining operations typically use flood cooling systems with a large amount of mineral oil cutting fluids delivered continuously. The cutting zone and for cooling lubrication purposes [1]. Although flood cooling methods improve machining efficiency, they also create serious environmental problems Because disposition used cutting fluids pollutants water and soil resources and growing operational costs [2]. Continuous exposure to mineral oil mist also causes health hazards Favor skin irritation, shortness of breath, and allergies between machine operators [3]. to overcome these limitations, has come up as Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). A sustainable lubrication technique in which much small quantity of lubricant Directly mixed with compressed air. The cutting zone [4]. MQL systems significantly reduce lubricant consumption Under storage effective lubrication and machining performance [5]. Vegetable oils have become very popular. Suitable alternatives to conventional mineral Because of the oil their biodegradability, renewable nature, higher viscosity index, High lubricity and non- toxic properties [6]. Vegetable oil is produced. A strong lubricating film but the interface of the cutting tool and workpiece, thus reducing friction, heat generation, and tool wear during machining operations [7]. Researchers What is the report? significant improvements I surface finish, cutting temperature, tool life, and use force vegetable Oil- based MQL systems During turning, milling, drilling and grinding processes [8]. Recent advances in nanotechnology have further improved the performance of vegetable through an oil- based lubricant the addition of nanoparticles Favor aluminum oxide, Copper oxide, graphene, and molybdenum disulfide [9]. Nano provides improved lubrication. Superior thermal conductivity and tribological performance, As a result of better machining efficiency and sustainability [10]. This research paper examines performance. Vegetable Oil- based MQL systems through detailed experimental analysis and discuss their influence on machine quality, environmental sustainability, and industrial productivity [11].},
