The milling machine is no problem the tooling is.

I am being picky I wanted to weld this thing up with no fill in but now I have to about 1/16th worth.
Then I ground something at the wrong angle on the wrong side.
As I was using the hole saw the darn thing jumped out of the vise and got out of line.
What I should have done is took the big vise off the bench and mounted it on the drill press.
Every time I question what I am doing it is a catastrophe.
If I dont get the other side right it is trash.
I completely skipped a step during the whole set up process and didn't realize it till it was to late.
I have to put this same thing on the other side of the channel iron and it has to be perfect or it wont work.
The only way I can do this is to weld it sitting on the ways for correct alignment.

Here is the results of my mess up that darn gap on top.
