Milling Quality

its hard to be special when you are getting the same as everyone else.i have be milling in house for12 years and have never thought i twas a bad decision.

The surface finish quality as mentioned above is due to the spindle rpm and feed rate of the strategy used.

We strive to give clients the best surface finish possible. As fas as shades, we recommend using pre-shaded blocks, and adding incisor stain before sinter.

it also has to do with the tools used. after testing 5 brands of tools i can say that for certain as each one cuts slightly different

Yup. Could be as little as 60 minutes, but usually takes a full hour.

We are looking for recommendations for a west coast milling lab for our zirconia, from our scan files. Must be of high quality in zirconia and fits, and MUST be consistent with their delivery times.

Im a one man show too. Its time saving and very cost effective, as in profitable. When I quit using Argen and started doing my own, quality went up, costs went down, word spread and my income more than doubled.

And you work till midnight.

As others have mentioned, there are many factors that affect restoration quality. Others include: tool shank diameter, fixturing, machine rigidity, spindle and even more.
I tried to provide some addition detail in our new website which we just launched. Maybe it will be of some benefit to members here (or maybe not)...

Not sure yet. Still testing and putting our magic into it. Unfortunately I can't even provide a "guess-timate". Stay tuned...
