Howdy - been a while since I posted, being busy with house renovations...
So, on to the milling - nothing too exciting yet, but I'm getting there. Took a pic of a copper block I facemilled in the milling machine yesterday, there's some fingerprints - oh, and two dirty great drill holes done on a bench drill (drillpress) but hey. Oh, and the amusing vice I got with the milling machine imparts a 0.625mm angle to whatever it "holds". I do use the term loosely. Anyway, here's the pic:
edit: Have had to code the pic into a webpage and do it this way as freewebs "free" hosting is "free" in the "Lionel Hutz" sense of the word... Grr...
My website
That's a roughly 2" square copper block, 1/2 inch thick. The drill holes were from an earlier project, was going to use it for a gpu block if I remember properly. Still good for playing around on. The block has come out smooth enough to use 600 grit wet-or-dry to finish it up on. You can barely feel the ridges, depending on which way you run your fingernail.
I'll post some more if anyone likes, and detail a bit about the blocks I'm making. hoping to use a couple of 220W tecs I've got laying around and make something impressive. Let me know your thoughts anyway
