All the milling for the capacitors is done. Now comes the water channel milling.

this should help pretty up the edges

That is one high performance sander!
it certainly is!
Look at the accuracy of it:

Was shooting for 3.75". I got it to within 1/1000th of an inch

I'm in dire need of this block. Since I made the switch to H2O my Vreg temps shot up 15 degrees at idle.
The block is going well. I am trying out new milling bits, and tapping methods. I would like to get a working prototype build by the end of this weekend. There isn't enough hours in the day to get all the things that i need to do! :rolleyes:
are you making these using only non-CNC?? I can't imagine you being able to charge for more than materials + 25 cents/hr for your labor... how are you going to do these en mass?
yup, no CNC machine here. no plans for en-mass, and only made to order. Once I get the feel for them, making them goes much faster.
A thousandth of an inch is pretty damn accurate!
Thank you. I got some aluminum to practice with as well.
Here is the Alum version I just banged out. Will work on it more tomorrow.

now which looks sexier... the Aluminum and black, or the copper and black

OH NO! Aluminum.
*Water community shudders in fear*
Copper all the way.
This thread makes me wish I had this board JUST so I could get this amazing block-to-be...
Incredible work sir.
Vote in: Nickel plated copper ;)Quote:

Here is more progress.
. . .because aluminum + copper= corrosionQuote:

i guess I would say that is technically electrolysis. can you clarify as to the source of the corrosion from mixing metals?Quote:

Im wondering why after all the bickering and heartake on the subject of Aluminum/Copper corrosion on this forum we don't have a dedicated sticky thread yet? :shrug:
here we go again...
