[QUOTE="droberts, post: 123197, member: 2179"] What I am referring to of the 5mm is the length of the core post for support. The cast-to-Locator has threads that are cast to for the mechanical retention. If the threads of the Locator need to be altered "shortened" or repositoned due to placement it is a good technique to laser weld a seam around the outer circumference. I dont believe you could control solder without damaging the locator attachment. Below is an example of using both CadCam and adding attachments utilizing the laser welder. Tooth abutments were scanned and designed, milled both surfaces parallel and laser welded the attachments. Cast horseshoe frame was fabricated, still out for try-in. As for the acrylic from Ivoclar that hides the metal. Cannot recall the name of it, tried it and didnt care for it. Has a bit more orange tint than I prefer, especially using it for a base due to tissue tinting. JMO [ATTACH=full]14784[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
