[QUOTE="Drizzt, post: 157675, member: 4075"] I would value the lab owner's opinion . Reps would say anything to sell, even if they can't back it up . After they sell it , they simply don't care . At least this is my experience when dealing with reps from any company . I partially agree with Coolhandluke . Most of the times , training isn't proper . BUT , I think the companies should provide it . Not train you for 1 day and then off you go , operate a CNC machine . I am a dental tech , no CNC engineer . The thing I don't like with ZZ , other than being a closed system , is that the publish things , that WILL be released , and make people think that they are available this instant . 3 years ago , I visited Gais , where ZZ's HQ is , and I saw the M5 . They told me it can mill metal . But then they said to me that milling metal with it , will reduce the machine's life and that it is too slow . Indeed it is slow . 45 minutes for a coping . I currently mill metal around 22-25 minutes average . They were claiming that many features are ''coming soon'' Some of them , still haven't come . I am afraid metal milling capability of M1 is just like that . My point is , that ZZ is having great marketing , but in the real world , in a real lab , it kinda lacks . Unless you're doing Prettau stuff . Then yes , it is the best out there , made to do this exactly . To sum it up , I would look elsewhere for metal milling , there are many proven systems out there , made to do that . Hope that helped . Good luck pal ! [/QUOTE]
