[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1503652, member: 550915"] Copper is also a PITA to machine, drill and tap, one of the main reasons that 99% of the distro blocks made commercially are made are brass. As mentioned, copper alloys (including brass) oxidize readily and the oxide on the surface is both ugly and non-conductive. Gold plating solves that problem. Ive been thinking of making my own recently just to play with my mill and such. Might be something I'll do when I get home just to kill time... [/QUOTE]
