VHF K5, we love ours. Talladium usually has a year end package special, you may want to give them a call and ask.

What are the thoughts on the Roland DWX-52DCi? I've been considering it for the puck changing ability (the ideal of milling overnight is just so alluring to me). How does the Roland stack up to some of the others mentioned (the Versamill, Zirkonzhan M1, and MASTERmill)? It appears to be in the same ball park price wise. Any major pros or cons on any one of these mills compared to the others?

Of course my recommendation would be our Versamill but please allow me to suggest that you arm yourself with knowledge on what actually determines how good a mill is in terms of: quality of restorations produced,, reliability, productivity, and profitability.

much of this can be done by reviewing the following;
This review would allow you to cut through the Sales and marketing BS so prevalent in this industry. It would enable you to make a more informed decision on which mill best meets your personal and business requirements, goals, and objectives.

just a thought....

That’s great. Often times we find this is not the case and this information can be most useful. :)Beer

Before throwing solutions at you it is probably best to find out what your needs are. What are you looking to produce?

Thousands?! I was just this morning visiting with Jensen about the end of Windows 7 support and what are the plans for the future with Windows 10 machines; I like to plan for redundancy and have back ups when needed.
Im pretty sure I was told new Hyperdent CAM was 900, and youll get a 500 credit back when you return the old dongle.

Depends on how many modules you have I guess.. The license fee alone is over $1200 /yr.

We are a hyperDENT distributor and not entirely sure but sounds like the cost of updating a v2012 4-axis license to V8 (not V9, their current version).

Depends on how many modules you have I guess.. The license fee alone is over $1200 /yr.

Just to be clear, this is what Jensen is charging you annually for hyperDENT software maintenance which provides for periodic, full and point releases.
When you purchase hyperDENT, you are purchasing what is known as a perpetual RTU license which means it perpetually renews at no cost. The version of which is either the release version at time of initial purchase or the last release version at time of software maintenance termination.

I’m not sure what TruMILL you have but our Versamill 5X200 is perfect for that application.

I’m also not sure if you’ve been notified, but. TruMILL branded ARUM machines will no longer be available after December 31st of this year as 3DBioCAD will no longer be a distributor of ARUM products.

Please give us a call If you wish to discuss your purchase and/or support options.
