OK so I am making a waterblock for my video card. I have a 3/4 inch thick piece of copper. my main problem right now is that I don't have a mill. I have a drill press and a dremel. I have drilled out several holes and now I need to cut out the areas in between them so that I just have small pieces of copper sticking up like crude fins.
Heres the problem. I am having trouble doing this. The drill press just walks and wont actually bore out the small areas. I don't know of what tip would eat the copper that easy for my dremel. I brought a tungston carbide tip but it just broke. I think it was defective but I am at a loss.
Is there some tip that will eat through copper easy?
I might just use my copper cap and buy a small flat piece of copper at this rate. I already spent $20 on the copper ( I have a lot left over). I also dont have a way to braze the top to the bottom piece. I am thinking that I can sodder it with a torch.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
