Good point!!! I was thinking of a fly cutter myself. I seen one made for my mill but it is like $60.

the copper and Al I got on my last order was in great shape. It was very flat from the factory. In fact I just hit this new block with a little 400 and 600grit and that was it. Took a few minutes. I think you are right aboutmaking them lap it them selfs. maybe throw in a cheap flyer on how to do it with the blocks
