What kind of Machinery do you use?

Hi, I`m new to this forum and in watercooling.

I have a few questions for you, my first one is:

What kind of machines do you use for making those cool waterblocks?

CNC? Drilling Mills? Just a Drill? Drill Press?
Do you have pictures?

I`m asking this, because I`m very interested in making waterblocks for my system, but I don`t know where to start.

I have a Delta Drill Press 1/4 HP, but I`dont know If I can make something with this.

Also, is there a "lot" of difference in making an aluminium block and a copper block?

Hope you can help my!

bye

I use a milling machine, thats soon gonna be converted to CNC, I have used a hand drill, dremel and whatever else I could find to cut and shape copper in the past... mostly mill now.

a drill press will work, thers some you can do with it. Search the forums.

I'm also interested.. i was just gonna post a thread like this until I saw yours .. I'm looking into a drill press like this: http://www.sears.com/sr/product/sum...fko.0&vertical=SEARS&bidsite=&pid=00921912000 although I'm not sure if that's good or not? I'm not very familair at all with this kind of machinery though

Note- JFettig has also used an old soda can to make blocks with

LOL
that one took a pliers and scizzars

That drill press will work, but its not very powerful. If you want some serious copper hoggin, you might want to get a 3/4-1hp drill press.

that 1/4hp press you have might work. It should but it might take a little longer.
