Hey thanks for replying as I figured you might know about this as I read somewhere you had a similar problem in your prototypes, but I figured that would be proprietary info so I didn't ask. Well the dimensions given above were for the Cuplex Pro that also had a concave surface though it was made out of copper. Here is the link to the Cuplex Pro. However, I just disassembled my Silver XT and with my .001" dial caliper it appears to be within .001 of being square and in thickness around the edges. The thickness of the base plate appears to be about .040 (minus the .002 concavity so say about .038) at the thinnest part where they plunged an end mill in. There is an almost identical gap on my XT as the link shown above and it is .002 right above the CPU.
Interestingly enough all my copper Twinplex's are very flat though and they are about .050 thick at the bottom of the plate.
Do you think I will be able to salvage this block by hand lapping it on a glass plate? Or do you think I should send it back to Germany? I could never get out of their manufacturers forum what specs of flatness were within tolerance.
BTW, how long does it take to get a G5? And will it work well with a 6mm or 8mm ID tube size and my Aquastream or DDC?
