Could you please give your impressions of this mill and the price if possible

It sinters under vacuum. It gives a better chroma in my opinion but sintering under vacuum is harder on the elements. You have to run intermittend non vacuum firings to repair the elements

I would suggest a Hydrovane compressor 2.2 kw should do it for a small Lab.

I know some labs in the US and UK are Damas registered. Here down in South of Africa we don't know too much about it. Anyone care to enlighten me on the value or worthiness of Damas? Information on it is vague. Is it a very expensive and complicated process?

Dont know it but I believe its substantially more expensive than the Roland line.

My two cents - having not seen the research - When grinding sintered zirconia with diamonds, I have seen research that indicate that grinding with a grit larger than 25 micron weakens zirconia. Grinding with a grit of 25 micron however strengthens zirconia. The microcracks with rough diamonds...

A bit limp I would say

Glass is mostly made up of silica - Here are the basic components of modern glass: Pure Silica(SiO2 , fused quartz) represents 70-74% weight of modern glass. In ancient times, glassworkers prepared recipes with more than 90% of pure silica, but because this substance has a melting point of...

:) I am not heavily into the semantics. But ask a Dentist/Technician what a "composite" is and they know the Dental term. Glenn is right in terms of language. Zirconium is a metal Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2) used in Dentistry is a ceramic "Yttrium tetragonal Zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) based...

The wear is very close to natural tooth structure. Antagonist wear also. The plaque index is far superior to true composites and similar to ceramic. Well within the ISO specs. Same for discoloration.

Still too new to judge but so far I have not heard of problems besides some individuals over-etching it with 9% Hydrofluoric instead of using 5% Over-etching removes too much ceramic and the excess of remaining polymer does not facilitate a good bond. Therefore stick to the instructions. I also...

If you have more doubt look at the ISO specs on Composites, Ceramic and Hybrid ceramics.

Was lava Ultimate a Dental composite - yes Is Enamic a Dental composite - no Is Dental ceramic a composite of feltspar, alumina etc? - yes - It is still not called a Dental Composite.

Dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins which are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives. Synthetic resins evolved as restorative materials since they were insoluble, aesthetic, insensitive to dehydration, easy to manipulate and reasonably inexpensive. Composite...

You have to try the 3d

Why don't you fire in another furnace and see what the results are? If the problem is gone you know its furnace related.

Vacuum on and Off?

It could be metal contamination or your sandblasting sand could be contaminated. I would change both for new and see how it goes. I mix 25% new metal with any old metal. Had a technician sandblasting his acrylic dentures in my sandblaster for metal. Endless problems until I discovered what he...

Are you using the regular Ice Stains or Ice 3D?

Enamic is not composite- Its is 86 % Ceramic and 14% polymer. Not sure dry milling wont have an effect on the integrity of the material. It is a porous ceramic block infiltrated with polymer in the pores. What does dry milling do to the ceramic structure? Ceramic should be grinded not cut. From...
