[QUOTE="PDC, post: 291790, member: 3385"] First things first. I, like you, would prefer to do away with the pfms all together. They are no where near as profitable as the zirconia workflow. I'm thinking of increasing my prices on those by 35-40% since I believe that is the amount of extra labor and time that is involved. For the time being I am still doing them. For 1 doc mostly. I usually just get the milled waxups and cast here. If it's a posterior bridge, I like to let Argen do the casting also. Just saves all that investing-devesting time. They also have the induction casting machine where as I still have the centrifugal machine. And I do prefer the 40 HN. As far as the fits...it's still a hit or miss thing. And sometimes, Argen will grind the sprues back to almost nothing. If you don't check the thickness of the frame before you finish it down, you could end up with a hole. Banghead [/QUOTE]
