actually, if i'm interpreting that drawing correctly, a 3axis machine can't do it.. you'd need a 4 axis machine to do that one. The jets can be cut IF you remount the block manually at an angle. But then you'd have problems with precise angle, cut depth, and that stuff. Another way to cut it is to machine the block in 2 sections. However, it'd be a pain to mount precisely.

I'd say you're better off with a vertical jet. You'd be surprised how much turbulence helps a waterblock.

flow is a good thing to sacrifice for lower temperatures.
