I just started machining and have a Mini Lathe and Mini mill and just about everything I try to make ends up in the garbage or scrap pile.
Taps break off in holes, the mini mill table has no locks so when I mill x y moves and so forth. I guess the lathe has been pretty good and not tossing away much if anything on that but the mill is a different story for some reason.
Anyhow I ended up throwing out an entire set of castings for a generator as it was nothing but a huge pile of mistakes due to my experience level and knowledge.
I guess that is how it is when you have no idea what your doing ::wall:
