Did you also use the ball tip mill on the block with the irreguler channels?
I hope you have time to run some of these blocks on your test bench soon.
Nice work!

Unfortunately this will be it for a while. I might have some time off during Christmas. If I do I got plenty of mods for these two new blocks to try and also a few other blocks on the drawing board. I wish I had a garage here at home to use the mill. Sucks that the mill is 130miles away.
I used a standard HHS 1/8" drill bit. Not an endmill. The next versions WILL be an endmill though. These drill bits got to much flex in them. I can make much more accurate holes with an endmill.
I will be putting these blocks on the bench soon. I need to get my thermal probes all working and calibrated. I figured out what was wrong with my DMM and TC, that little battery icon that pops up means the battery is low.
Changed the battery and it is reading well again. Next step is to wire up the other probes and do the joy stick mod and hope they calibrate in decently.
I am a wore out fool. I didn't get much sleep the last 3 nights and about to fall over so I am calling it a night. Tomorrow i will work on the probes some. I got a few more pics of these blocks up and some pics of them being milled on my site with the link in my sig.
