[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 157639, member: 4850"] the ability of the machine is also highly dependent on the proficiency of the operator. when we got a Versamill 5x (and i'm not saying this is the solution for you) we had an extensive training session to understand the inner operations of the software. i understand now why a lot of people don't like delcam or find it difficult. they don't follow the logic and are assuming the workflow is more straightforward than it really is. with zz its probably a lot of the same scenario; the zz guys know their software inside out and the labs who buy in only really understand a bit, but will understand more over time if they dare to push buttons on their own and figure out by trial and error. very few people who drop hundreds of g's on machines want to figure it out for themselves. it should be ready straight out of the box. that's thinking like a businessman and not like a realist. your two lab friends with an M1 might not adequately know what they are doing. unfortunately this happens all the time and gives a bad name to some machines out there. hell i know people with a haas that can't mill emax properly. so answering the question of "can the M1 mill metal" well yes, to a certain extent. theres probably a bucket of implants that are not compatible, remain undeveloped, or are plain impossible. can it do copings, fc, and bars in crco and ti? maybe. if their software is anything like sum3d or delcam however, there needs to be some reworking of that given the machine is likely sold ready for zirconia out of the box.
