[QUOTE="sixonice, post: 11155, member: 2"] The Dekema is a nice piece for sure. They are regarded as some of the best pieces of equipment in the laboratory, but what they are not is tested with e.max ingots. I have experience with several of the other pressing ovens (other than the Ivoclar ones) and they are all very different. The Ivoclar ovens use an electronic press drive and sensors to determine when the pressing is complete, while the others use a pressing time and holding time. The bottom line is your going to go through some ingots to "dial" things in if your using any oven different than the Ivoclar pressing ovens. It is not there job to do all the R & D on all the other furnaces. I got upset when things didn't work out also, but using the e.max ingots in any other oven is like using one companys opaque and dentin porcelain and ANOTHER companys incisal/enamel porcelain, then blaming one or the other that their product doesn't work when things go wrong. I learned that staying within the system & using the equipment that has been tested, is what works best, keeps you happy, gets really nice work out the door and (if) technical issues arise, you have the backing of the company to help you gets things fixed.
