I bet there are many threads outlining the proper way to invest and process dentures on this planet. After doing it by hand for close to 40 years, I have learned a few hard and fast rules to get the best results, so I will share this without the aid of AI. Don't get me wrong I tried but it did...
I will share my experience with Asiga
First off the company has been fantastic, yes I have a kick ass distributor as well but here is my story.
My first printer AsigaPro4k it was the early model which during pandemic they sourced projectors that TODAY are different. Like many things in that...
So you are saying he got 10 years on a spindle milling emax in office?
How many hours on that machine would be my question.

Again seems you are reacting rather than absorbing my words, I am not trying to do anything other than be the messenger. I have no idea where you are in your career, how much longer you want to play this game of teeth but when you say you would rather do singles all day that's where my opinion...
