[QUOTE="ddsTech, post: 237025, member: 1467"] I thought it might be helpful to post a followup on the mill I ended up purchasing and why. As a one-man lab with limited space for extra equipment, dust and noise, and because I really wanted a capable mill that would fit my needs for many years, I decided on the Versamill 5XS from Axsys. Here are some of the reasons I chose the 5XS: - Heavy duty, well-constructed mill - Competitive pricing - No suction required and no zirconia dust because it’s run wet - Low compressed air volume required so my small compressor works fine - It’s Quiet - Built-in computer controller so I don’t have to have another computer on my bench. The CAM package (DentMILL) runs on my existing CAD laptop. - Includes a sturdy base cabinet so it doesn’t take bench space. The unit has about a 2'x2 1/2' footprint. - Cuts a smooth surface & a great margin with minimal offset - Easy to use CAM package - DentMILL - Great, experienced people to work with at Axsys For now I’m cutting wax and PMMA, but will be adding zirconia and other materials next year. So far everything is working extremely well and I’m very happy with the system and Axsys. [/QUOTE]
