[QUOTE="LifeLike, post: 58872, member: 3610"] RileyS, you are probably right about the fit from the mill , but in the trial I dont have the scanner only the software , so I have to send the model for them to scan , then they send scan back to me to design and return to them to mill, then they send back models and crowns, we shal see . I did mill with the cadwax but at first it just coated burs with plastic and rendered them useless in a matter of seconds, then i started putting ice in water tank and it would complete the mill , but fit was not good and it took forever, so just gave up on that . Charles007, I know, I know , but as of now we still do about 50-50 e.max and zirc, we also have the Lava Ultimate resin/zirc, I dont really have chipping issues with e.max but I do mill margins thicker and just finish by hand it is much quicker and pretty much works , but it does take a few minutes more per crown that I dont think I should have to spend. As far as wet vs dry I hear what you are saying for the price of the upgrade from the 3000 to the 4000 to be able to mill e.max it is pretty steep, may think about just pressing e.max and forget about milling it I also know it is caheaper and more accurate but milling it is really fast, can turn around crowns in as little as an hour if need be. Definatley agree with you on the re-sale value. Cost issues are a definate factor in my decision. what kind of compressors do you use on your mills , they want 7 grand for a compressor and filters !! Thanks for all the replies , Thanks for the replies. [/QUOTE]
