So i was just wondering if anyone could tell me exactly how a expensive bur is better than a cheaper one in
regards to how they cut and perform. I know that the more expensive ones claim to last longer and cut
"better" but what exactly does that mean?? ive had my reseller always tell me when i have some kind of issue(ie. crown having lines or not fitting correctly, too tight, etc.)
to go thru troubleshooting steps and they always say to use a new bur but to use theirs which they sell for $175 which is to me somewhat expensive.
Normally i use a $50 bur. And these are all diamond coated burs i am talking about.And i am milling zirconia.
I have a roland dwx-51d. i use 2mm, 1mm, and 0.6mm burs.
So if i use an more expensive higher end bur will the end result be actually different>?
Meaning would the crown be noticably or significantly different? ie Crowns dont fit.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with a "cheap bur""?
And also would a 2mm bur that is "no good" cause
crowns to be not fitting even though the 1mm bur is okay? my thinking on that is that the 1mm finishing bur would correct any miscut 2mm bur areas when it goes over
them. That is what my brain tells me however it does seem like a badly worn 2mm bur can cause crowns to not fit even by itself. Haven't really tested that out
but a few times it seemed like that was the issue.
So my question is this. If i am using cheaper burs but i am changing them at the recommended times then can i get the same results as if i were using more
expensive burs? If so, then i prefer the cheaper ones because i have dropped a new $200 bur before from like i think 3 inches high of the table and when it landed...broken.
I was very unhappy. i have granite countertops. After that i only used $50 burs.
Also, i really dislike how i am told by reseller that cheap burs might be the underlying cause of such a wide variety of problems....
and without explanations that really make sense to me a lot of times. Or they kinda get hung up on the fact that i have a cheap bur in my machine.
So that is why i am asking so i know what people might have experienced who actually are milling a lot. BTW, im not bagging on my reseller, i think they are great
but just they are tech support and maybe dont always have the best insight on real use.
