That last link of that one block took less than an hour to mill those channels manually.
How many IPM and what depth are you cutting at?

Most of the time was burned do to not optomizing to GNC code. I could do it in maybe 2 hours with better tooling. The only 1/8" endmill I had to use was the one I made the Lemon Block Cu with. It was already worn pretty good. It made it though. Next endmills I order are going to be 3 flute carbide instead of 2 flute. I was talking to a machinest the other day and he said use 3 flute for 1/16" and 1/8" in copper because they don't clogg up and they are much better ballanced.
I was going 1/16" each pass except the first 2 passes where 1/32" . Also 3/8" deep was a little deeper than the endmill was ment to go, but it worked.
If I can this down to an hour I will start selling them!
Got to get the holes figured out now...
