It begins...
Well finally got some micro channels going.
Here's my first go using the slitting saw: That's with a 1mm thick slitting saw. I also have 1.5, 0.8 and 0.5mm thick saws (different diameters too). Apart from the micro channels the milling in the block was from very early on, and Im certainly not proud of it. This is really just a test of the saws and im impressed. A few slight issues to be sorted out with the arbor, and we need to make some arbors for the other size saws (They have varying hole sizes in the middle ) |

Cool...
What kind of mill are you using? (horizontal?) Do you have any pics of your setup? Thanks, |

Good stuff pippin88. This is exactly the sort of machining process I'm moving to for my GPU block. We'll be doing a few extra tricks though....

Its a vertical mill with a home made arbor. Cathar, you going to be using multiple saws? That's one thing I'm going to look at in the future, making an arbor that accomodates a few saws so its quicker and better spaced. |

I ****ed it up (Moved the vice around to much, only needed to turn it once to get the required angle on all bits yet did it 2 or 3 times) and thus abandoned it. But it's a good piece to practise on. Oh and a large part of what you are seeing is shit and swarf that I hadn't cleaned out when the pics were taken. |

it happens to the best of us so why cant you just put it back in, and mill out the rest ? unless its already to close to the base... |

is it possible to put a mill bit in a drill press, get a clamp that can move horzontialy and vertically in accuracy with easy and once you drill down to ur set depth u lock the press drill off and start moving the vice v and h would this be a good way to mill something ?

Care would sure be needed with the depth or it would be a good way to bust bits.

1. some press drills have a mmguage of how far you are moving the drill down 2. every 3mm or so bring the drill out, stick a ruler down there and see what you can see on the ruler (u get the idea, if not its myy chinglish playing up again)

It will also be time consuming and wont result in a particularly good product. That said I have seen a few people that have done very good work with drill presses etc. If you want a good performing block that's easy on a drill press, I suggest you do a #rotor block. |

Are you just too lazy to do it? What will it take?....... like 10 minutes to clean it up? They will creat a significant flow restriction as apposed to a smooth transition from entry >through fins>exit. So they will ,in fact, alter the blocks performance curve. Why not do the BEST you can with what you got? |

i doubt that would effect flow that much, as the fin bas is higher than that of the area of question, the water flow isnt forced onto that area infact its forced away (if you have on barbd going in the middle and two barbs on the outside going out)
ifs its the other way around then you would want to smooth it out

The flow restriction is already the inlet. As It's probably going to be a 3 barb block. Also I don't see how it would affect flow much at all, other than creating a bit of turbulance, which has been concluded as being a good thing. It will take considerably longer than 10mins to clean up, as I'd have to change collets etc, find the right depths etc. I don't have time when I have this and another block as well as a GPU block to do tomorrow. This block was only ever intended as a test of the saw and arbor. |

Looks good. Havn't quite figured out why you made the triangle shapes on the ends though? Looks like a spot to whirlpool warm water?

cool !
my dads got a drill press how much and where from ! hmmm although at the end of my block it would start to cut more channels due to the diameter of the blade.... ill try and get a small (Diameter wise) is possible i need a 1mm thin blade is that possible ?
