I have a Tunic Tower 120 heat sync and am looking to lap it. I noticed the copper plate on the bottom that touches the processor is held in by four screws. Rather than trying to hold this beast while running the base over sandpaper, couldn't the four screws be removed and the copper plate lapped separate from the main unit?
I know that when lapping you are supposed to rely on the weight of the unit to sand things down, however slight pressure with it removed I would think would be similar. I work extensively on auto painting so am overly comfortable wet sanding painted surfaces so this should be no big deal.
Has anyone removed the four copper plate screws from the Tunic? Is this a good idea?
Thanks.
