[QUOTE="Labwa, post: 21303, member: 1874"] im with you guys. the cam system is where all the mechanics are(that fail) i have seen everest spindles fail a number of times. then to wait a week at the least to get the part brought in from germany is a massive issue. back scanning with the piccolo is a struggle after an optical scanner haha. Then you get onto sintering, coloring, and general zirconia issues. green zirconia is very delicate as im sure you know and discs do break and shed material. cleaning after a day of milling is not fun. it clogs drains and is very dirty. then you get onto burs which are not cheap at all. Then software bug issues will always be lurking waiting for a massive case. it will calculate the path to get half way through the mill and decide to stop and spin or even worse try to mill into the yoke. (try find the parts of the broken bur is the machine) in most cases they cover your costs providing it was not an issue caused by your technique. on the positive side you are abe to mill full arch bridges on implants in zirconia or titanium which would cost thousands for the cost of the discs. id say forgo the advantages and do yourself a favour...dont take on the extra stress.
