OK, I'm going with a finned / micro channel type design for my new waterblock, and wondered if anyone here had used a saw to make the channels. I think I remember seeing it discussed here before... Anyway, my plan is to have two areas approx 25mm x 10mm either side of the centre in a 50mm square block, 12mm thick. 3mm for the base thickness, and the fins cut with a mitre saw. I'm using a mitre saw as it's nice and thin, and cuts vertically. I'm going to make it easier on my arm by drilling 1.5mm holes in a channel configuration first, so I should get a fair amount of turbulence from the indents that the mitre saw will cut. I'll post some pictures as I go.
EDIT: I should have said that the two "areas" are the inlet/outlet recesses, and the fins are about 20mm long, and ten of them - in the centre of course. I'll do a pic for you all soon..... Any suggestions / words of advice here? or can I take your silence as quiet admiration? hehe ;-)
