Jonas, I still think that the Everest is a great system. We use ours day in day out. It has milled 2 singles, 2 x 3 unit bridges and a 4 unit Titanium bridge today. As well as some Zr work and a few temps. We are using multiCad (ExoCAD) to do all our designs with and it is fantastic, Not yet made the jump to a new cam software but as stated there are a few on the market. Go2cam seem to have a really great bit of software for about 16k sterling. KaVo have brought out Cam2 that looks very nice but again you are locked into there OEM products unless you pay an extra 10k to open it up to any material. Cam2 is also about 10k. WorksNC say they can open it but I have been trying to get hold of them for 4 years, no luck yet Lol. I still think I would go with Hypermill as they are the ones who installed hyperfact all those years ago on the Everest, they are the ONLY ones who will let you mill bars and abutments, the last price they gave me was 12k. Or you could sell it and buy a 30k-60k belt driven 35kg mill that will be dead in 5 years.
Hi,
Joe, how does this open the Kavo, is it just a new yoke? You still would need Cam...No?Look at this link buddy:
Conversion KIT to "OPEN" KaVo Everest CAD-CAM system to any 98mm Zirconia discs
I have been using this solution for more then a year - IT WORKS WELL - once you tweak things to your materials
I made yokes and fixtures for my Kavo...
The statement above is silly.
Of course you can use 98mm disks..??
You can also use thinner disks, just "use the force" when nesting...
Soooo many ways around this issue you think impossible to overcome.
You can give it to me, if you would like.what can I do with my system ?
An aquarium !
How very dare you my French friend, some of us love our little Everest systems. We have been doing what Scott said for years. Get a new yoke made at a engineering shop or have your old one modified to do what you need, get some 1mm rings milled while you're at it to increase the level of your disks up as you need them. A bit of lateral thinking is all you need.what can I do with my system ?
An aquarium !
i run 4 Kavo systems and use go2 dental Ulrich is the only person to buy it off. His after sales support is better than Kavo. I sent my computer to Kavo to be fixed they said i needed a new one Ulrich fixed it and i was back running in 1 week. His Assistant Lara is amazing her Kavo knowledge is second to none she often stays up late as i am in Australia to trouble shoot me. I mill Emax on the system and it makes me money every day. Don't bother with any other software or machine.
