it never hurts to look over operating instructions for various machine tools,
you might be amazed at how often youll gain some insight or pick up a tip or two, in the process.
yes youll make stupid mistakes, try to learn exactly what you did wrong and not repeat the process, ask detailed questions, and if you can find a skilled mentor.
a great deal of power tool use is a skill you learn by working with the tool and watching others who can give valid advice.
you obviously will need the correct tooling, some idea of how to go about machining the parts,
drill bits, end mills and a decent vise to solidly hold the components you work on, and a constant bath of cutting and cooling fluid flowing over the machined areas
