What milling machine model are you using?
-5-Axis or ?
-Wet or dry?
-If wet for zirconia, how do you dry the zirconia parts before coloring prior to sintering?
-Used for zirconia or Ti or CoCr?

Cheapo Chinese 5 axis, dry, cutting colored zr only. Might buy a wet one also for dentures... I don't like doing dentures

We use a motion 2 for our wax and pmma and a Mikro for all our zirc. 5 axis, all dry. We don't mill bars or anything in our lab so works well for us. The motion 2 can do wet as well for any custom abutments. But only dry on the zirc.

2 dry 5 axis - precolored zirc mostly, some wax, handful of unshaded zirc. dry with a dedicated toaster oven pre-sinter for the few we hand color.
1 wet 5 axis for milling titanium and pmma

imes 350i for wet-milling CoCr + ti, PM7 for wet emax, roland 52s + 53s for dry zirconia.
