[QUOTE="rookiee, post: 306618, member: 11181"] Please, please....I hope I understood your reply correctly as critique to Roland and instead buyin a K4 instead. Roland machine is 5 axis dry mill with low consumption of air (no need for extra or high power compressed air) while K4 is 4 axis machine, how is that comparable and why would someone buy 4 axis today if they can get 5 for almost same money? Secondly, my Roland is in usage daily for last two years, negative side? Somehow it broke ONE bur for unknown reason and I had tightened collet ONCE in last two years (although everyone says do it every month),ZERO chiping even on feather preps with margin line offset set to 0,05 mm which means crown practically doesn't need any after processing. All that in combination with Hyperdent and strategies provided by DG Shape (Italy I think or maybe they have same for all markets, not sure). Maintance? Once a week a cleanup of chamber and that's it. Can you reccomend better machine for small sized in house lab? I'm not saying VHF is not a great company. But at the end, I want what's best for my lab and I did research and bought Roland even if everybody else were on Ivoclar etc...and I can only recommend Roland machines from my own perfect result every time for past two years, some friends have older version, they just clean it and changed spindle when necesarry. And I give same advice to everybody, if something is **** from my experiences, I tell that also and I'm not reseller or anything... [/QUOTE]
