[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 154409, member: 126"] Have to disagree with you Bob, I outsource so much metal, that I get my zirconia at such a reduced price that there is no way on Gods green earth I could even come close to doing it for the price they are giving me. Which brings up two points...if you're already scanning everything in your lab, why wouldn't you outsource your metal? Quality is better (induction casting),cost analysis shows you can save yourself time, labor, money, and your Doctors money. The other point is, some of the large milling centers do so much zirconia they can get the pucks for pennies on the dollar where as you pay the full price for a puck. Everyone talks about ROI, ROI this, ROI that...if you've really spent any time at the bench you will come very familiar with the term ROT - Return On Time. Time is something we give up everyday, you don't get it back, and to be honest...why do I want to give any of that up to be hovering around a twelve thousand dollar sintering oven or a bucket of stains while its costing me more to do it. Be smart out there folks. [/QUOTE]
