[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 198940, member: 4850"] 5axis is for implant supported bridges where angles are wild, or milling bars, less so for 'unconventional' prepwork. generally if you are not milling metal you can spend less on your machine, but i'd still expect to pay close to 80k but you need to have a target in mind here; "i just want to mill pmma wax and zirconia" isn't a target, its your first step. you'll want a machine that is dependable, durable, and will be able to expand into new materials as they develop. which to me, means wet mill. wet mill mostly are 5 axis.
