Well, that didn't take long.
Anyway, back the block...
I've been talking too much about getting a mill. The frustrating visit to a travelling tool show that didn't have in stock the mill I wanted was an all too common rant. So, what did I get for my birthday? A mill? No, a
toy.
I remember reading threads where a 1/10 horsepower mill was derided as too weak to make a waterblock. Ha! I've made a block with 1/125 hp toy.
