I machine most of the time assemblies for customers.
These are a bit complex and I always make a few extra. So that if I screw something up or a tool brakes I don't have to go back to operation 1.
This cost me a few minutes extra. But if I have to start from the beginning it will cost me a couple of hours.
On a good day I don't have any scrap parts and I have a few extra good parts. Or parts with very small imperfections.
But what should I do with them? Give them to the customer as extra? Just throw them in the bin? These are not repeat jobs
