Man Jaydee, you turn out new variations of blocks fast. Used a ball tip end mill on the pin block, or at least that the way it looks.

Did you also use the ball tip mill on the block with the irreguler channels?

I hope you have time to run some of these blocks on your test bench soon.

Nice work!

Unfortunately this will be it for a while. I might have some time off during Christmas. If I do I got plenty of mods for these two new blocks to try and also a few other blocks on the drawing board. I wish I had a garage here at home to use the mill. Sucks that the mill is 130miles away.

I used a standard HHS 1/8" drill bit. Not an endmill. The next versions WILL be an endmill though. These drill bits got to much flex in them. I can make much more accurate holes with an endmill.

I will be putting these blocks on the bench soon. I need to get my thermal probes all working and calibrated. I figured out what was wrong with my DMM and TC, that little battery icon that pops up means the battery is low. :p Changed the battery and it is reading well again. Next step is to wire up the other probes and do the joy stick mod and hope they calibrate in decently.

I am a wore out fool. I didn't get much sleep the last 3 nights and about to fall over so I am calling it a night. Tomorrow i will work on the probes some. I got a few more pics of these blocks up and some pics of them being milled on my site with the link in my sig.

That last one reminds me of something I thought of using for "Radius" but opted against it, due to the complexity in the small size.

Yours looks much nicer! ;)

I sure would like to see numbers on that one! You'll have to try a center inlet, to get ~3 degrees better.

I took a pic of my paper design I did with an OLD digital cammera (ie still uses a floppy disk) so it is a poor shot, but I got it...

Mind you, I have no circle template, or curve set, or anything really other than a pencil, a ruller, and a lot of spare time.

yeah, very close indeed...mine called for 6 x 8 holes where as yours is 5 x 9. My original design had them all interconnected to establish pins, where as the second revision (which I shot a pic of) calls for them to be connected horizontally thus forming the "lumpy channels" which you mentioned. Right now I am working on a design using the "papermate" pen tips and offset channels. I will try to post a pic so you can tell me what you think. BTW you have a PM ;)
