[QUOTE="PDC, post: 159883, member: 3385"] I didn't really like the surface quality of the SLM HN alloy. Things may have improved since I tried them but the surface texture seemed very porous and rough. I am going to try the milled wax and induction casting workflow with my next case. I've tried Argen's milled wax and the fits were great, so I thought I would carry it a step further. I really like the idea of eliminating rings, investment, furnace time, cutting sprues, weighing copings, bubbles in castings, etc. Supposedly, the metal charges are the same as what you would pay if you bought an oz. or whatever from them direct. I'm just starting to use this workflow and hope it works out. I think it will be pretty cost effective when you figure in all of the variables associated with doing a casting the old fashioned way.
