Thanks Jabo,
the x-y vice was cheap and would jump when the mill bit into the copper.
I would like a mill but cant afford one at the moment.
I have made loads of blocks in the past including cascade clones with help from cathar still have them collecting dust in the workshop. One was a cascade style gpu block but i never tested it.
thanks for the tip on rswww i get loads of stuff from them including the brass barbs.

Have you got it finished yet mate?
P.S. I found that one can sucessfuly use endmills with this type of equipment and if you go slowly and have your x-vice assmebled correctly (and one axis blocked, also it looks like a turning table could serve you well) then you can obtain a very nice straight cuts with flat bottoms. I got my bits endmills from rswww - they are quite expensive unfortunately 
Anyways, keep up your good work! |
