We've been working on getting even better results from the already fantastic, finished abutments on the VersaMILL 5X.
Although not completely fine tuned, I had to share.
Check out the consistency of finish, sharp margin and ultra-fine surface finish of the transgingival region; truly amazing. I will be putting it on a surface roughness tester and expect some pretty impressive numbers.
Machine cycle time is about 28 minutes using (3) TiSn coated tools ($54 each),getting about 70 units on a set of tools. We expect to get that back to the 20 minute time target without sacrificing tool life or surface finish quality.
There are some very slight anomalies in some of the pic's due to our process in test machining but keep in mind these images were taken with a microscope at 150X magnification!
Take a look at the top photo below where you can really get a feel for the quality of our machine/process. Compare the abutment's milled finish on the left side of the image to the NT-Trading Ti blanks ($53 each) turned surface finish on the right...Good stuff that is!
