I was thinking I would point-drill precisely where each bend was going to take place. Then I would just need to mill the paths between the drilled holes. And to ensure the correct angles I'll use a theaded mounting block. Since the base has 8 mounting holes all I need to do for the 45-degree sections is unmount the block, then remount it at a 45-degree angle from the path of travel.

forget cutting all the channel on the perimeter of the block. It just reduces flow and gives no improvement in cooling. Just remove all the metal on the ouside.
Good idea. Like so?


I'll try the design without the bends in each channel next.
