If someone came to your shop with the metal and the .dxf files in hand how much would you charge to mill a water block? Just to give you an idea of how complex a design. Basic rectangle block with a 3/4 x 2 inch channel with a array of 3x3mil fingers in the middle 3/4x3/4 inch. 2 mounting holes and 8 holes to attach the top. For the top it'd be basic rectangle block with 3 1/2 inch holes. 2 mounting holes and 8 holes to attach the top so I'll probably just use my drill press, then tap the holes. Also, should I drill the holes and cut the metal sheet to the shape I want before taking it to be milled?
