[QUOTE="KentPWalton, post: 151541, member: 7347"] In my opinion...keep materials separate! Dry material needs to be milled only in dry machines and vice versa. Changing fixtures in and out all of the time to go from milling Emax back to Zr. is a nightmare. The clean-up needed is super time consuming and never will be good enough to get in all of the nooks and crannies of a machine. Then you go from Emax to milling Titanium and you get clogs. But I think the most important factor of them all is that you loose accuracy every time you switch out fixtures for different materials. I feel that there needs to be separation of the mills. Wet and dry. Wet needs to be just a simple machine made just for Emax with a sturdy fixture. If you mill Titanium, this also needs to happen. There would be such a great benefit to labs and re-sellers alike. Labs would not be getting the headache of having to have someone come re calibrate their machine every time they switch fixtures. We miss the days of having one machine and that machine doing its job and doing it well, consistently all of the time. With technology moving forward, we want to see them create a machine that "does it all", and in my opinion, that machine just hasn't been created yet. [/QUOTE]
