Looks very good Troy! Did mike machine that mount for you or did you do it yourself?

Mike did the rear plate heatsink built in, I did the small mounts for the fan itself to make the fan sit a tad deeper, other wise, I was looking at the fan sitting kinda high and not much air flow over the heat sink.

Thanks, I dremmeled my finger in the process...LOL :005: :007:

:026: Ouch! Not good! Did that once myself.
I bought a drillpress & a cross travel table for it. It handles light duty milling just fine. No more dremeled fingers.

Looks great! Ahh, a dremmeled finger.... Tastey! I know how that feels:p

It's still a tad numb, it's pretty deep. It burned more than cut! LOL, but i'm pretty happy with the little mounts, they make the fan sit perfect.

I would say not as long as it took you, but it'll be done soon.:027: :005: :005:

Hopefully in the next year I can get a milling machine for projects like this. Or even like you a drill press that has a table that can be moved for cutting. We will see though...

I would love to by a small mill / lathe like Smithy offers (and others) set up a couple DRO's on it and have a nice machining rig for around $2500.

My wife would kill me in the process if I did, so that's why I don't have one (yet)

troy, it only took me from sept to dec....which really isn't to long.....so I'm pleased with it.....good job on the fan agian

Cool. I don't know why you don't put pics instead of link.
Nice. If you still got your finger you should feel lucky.
