Just as well spam this here to.

No points for using common hand tools here.

Pyrmid style pins that are 1/16" at base and 1/32" at top. I have a 1/4" peice of acrylic for a spacer for water flow and a 1/4" peice for the top peice. the depth of the pins are .030". Base is 1/8" aluminum (lack of copper). All I can tell you is it only took about 15mins.

Will finish soon. Any guess's on what type of equipment I used to achive that base in less than 15mins? Wasn't my CNC mill.

Very slick! Dang, I wish I had equipment to make my own blocks. I'm getting jealous seeing all these kickass homemade jobs

I'm betting it's forged or rolled into there (similar to knurling). Definately looks like it's a formed process.

Very nice JD. I'm going to say it was done with a water jet.

Nope, but I will tell you it was run at 16,000+ RPM and the machine cost around $14,000 US and it isn't a CNC mill but is similar and computer controlled.

Nope. I use this machine everyday at work. I did the acrylic peices with the lazer there.

I wish! No it's only $14,000. It is rotory and uses bits, but not only endmills.

Nope. It has a XYZ axis just like a regular CNC mill but the table is 16" x 26". That might give it away.

Nice looking block but what is with the semi-cool secrecy regarding the equipment used?
