Whatever you decide really do your research due diligence on support. You will want answers and not I don’t know. Good luck
imes mill i have heard mixed reports about them i think you should get a mill that can mill ti, honestly for a beginner mill look at the zirkonzahn m1 it can mill metal emax crco zi plastic wet and dry you also get abutment blanks for them with premilled interfaces they mill them with the same machines that the big implant companies use to mill their abutments with.its also all exocad based.
Hi guys hope you help me out decide which mill to buy , I'm starting a small lab but I want to be able to do all types of fixed prosthesis , mainly zirconia and emax and ocasionally milled hard metal and PEEK , what mill (and setup) do you advice me to get , I've been considering yenadent D15 , VHF K5 and Zikonzahn M5 .
Any advice is welcome
Thanks
wainwright i hear your pain but i respectively disagree with you .having had the curse of 95mm blocks for over ten years now im ok with it.i have used after market blocks in the past when needed its not that hard to find them as internationally Zirkonzahn is very popular .But what i find with ZZ they have always had the latest and greatest anyway as far as price yes they are more expensive but not to the point that i would change their stuff is just better in my humble opinion.If you are going up against crowns from China that range from 25 -50 dollars no matter what material you use or how much you pay per block you can never compete on price . With ZZ you know the zirk is going to fit and not beak you know the colours are going to be ok . their mills mill metal well if you are a small lab independence is everything i agree milling emax blue blocks are a killer but milling wax a pressing is great. the peek from ZZ is great. Ive had plenty of techs wish they could use ZZ materials in their 98mm machines not the other way around. We all have price pressure on us even Willy Gellar
What he said......Spot on Sam.....Oh, and if you are a really small lab, let's say less than 10 people. I'd really recommend not getting into wet milling. Do the easy dry stuff.
Let the milling centers with 100k+ machines do the metal for you.
Okay, end of rant.
