    DWX-50 not calibrating

    We have two Roland DWX50 machines. Our older one refuses to calibrate. We changed the motor/spindle last year and all worked fine. Lately, it will calibrate half way just fine, then suddenly, the thing will just stop calibrating and give me an error message saying "unexpected error, if there is...

    DWX-50 vs DWX-52dci

    We have two DWX50 milling machines and one DWX52dci. With the DWX50 machines, we use the Sum3d software. With the DWX52dci, we use Milbox. With Milbox, it takes nearly twice as long to mill a single zirconia unit. Any way to shorten the milling time in milbox? Nick

    DWX-50 Spindle Replacement

    Hey all, Wanted to know if anyone here has yet to replace their spindle in the DWX-50 Roland milling machine. I know the manual says the spindle has roughly 2000 hours of operating time before it should be replaced. Ours is at 1700 or so and we're preparing to buy a new spindle to have on...

    Milled Bridges Rocking Again

    We solved the bridge issue we were having a while back, but its now happening again. Ive been using the stabilizer bar feature in Sum3D, and it seems to help somewhat, but these little bastards have begun to rock again. I suspect its the same issue as before (waxers carelessly spruing).....so I...

    How many of you mill all of your wax?

    Anyone still hand wax? We're about 50/50 right now....milling most major cases but hand waxing almost all of the single units. How did you guys like going from hand waxing to milling all the wax? Nick

    Re-using Non-Precious Buttons

    So, our boss insists on reusing buttons from non precious metal castings. First ever lab I worked at, the owner would freak if this had happened. Where I am now, the owner is insistent that we re-use the buttons from NP. Many times we'll cast a full cast non precious crown out of purely a button...

    Milling Wax - How do you avoid open margins?

    Hey all.....we finally got the rocking issue solved on our milled wax. Large bridges would fit great in wax, yet rock once cast. We finally got that solved. Now another problem..... We usually have big full arch bridges, and the doctors often leave undercuts on the posterior preps. We mill the...

    How many of you add in texture while in green state?

    Most of you guys do your texture work before sintering? Ive been considering this but have yet to do it. Wondering how well it works and if it helps the porcelain techs at all. Nick

    3Shape software freezes during design process

    Hey guys, This past week our new (3 week old) scanner and software package began to freeze on us on occasion during the design process. The guy who installed everything told me "well, just dont use that option in the design process". Well, if I wish to use a certain feature of the software to...

    DWX-50 Wax Bridges Dont Fit

    Any tips for correcting this problem? 3 unit bridges fit like a glove, but anything over 5 units then its rock city. I use the "create stabilizer" option which is supposed to keep it from warping while milling or cutting it out of the disk, but those bigger bridges still rock. Zirconia bridges...

    DWX-50 Wax Bridges Don't Fit

    Just bought our 2nd Roland DWX-50 machine and roughly half of the wax bridges we mill rock on the model after casting. When loading the bridge in the software, I use the "create stabilizer" option which puts the bridge on a bar. Very careful about connector placement and removal from the disc...
