[QUOTE="Car 54, post: 246416, member: 85"] Having the mini, I now wish I had a 5 axis. I bought it when I really was just milling wax and doing PMMA temps. The mini is a work horse, but I really wish I had a 5 axis to mill gradient zirconia in the puck at the angle I want, and not limited to ~10 degrees. Many times I want to adjust the mesial/distal or buccal/ling in the puck to exactly where I want it, but can't due to 4 axis limitations. Up and down isn't the issue, it's the tilt angle you'll wish you had more control of. I'm also getting into more FCZ bridges, and again, a 5 axis mill would really be helpful in positioning and cutting. I believe the Select mills are more temperamental about being clean, you really have to keep on top of it, from what I've heard. JW or others may correct me if I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
