[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 269109, member: 4850"] the 5xS was built to mill everything and it is very capable of that. does ti as well as emax and plastics and soft stuff, but given the differences in coolant you should really consider segregating that; wet mill ti from one tank, emax from the other tank, and dry it off for doing zirc. the main thing will be "try not to switch often" given the pain in the butt it is to keep contaminant free. its not going to hurt your ti milling to have contaminants. it IS going to hurt your emax, and it is definitely going to hurt your zirconia. in practical terms you could fill both tanks with water and do emax with water coolant only, but you will use up tools like crazy. why should you mill zirconia wet then, well for one i can speak to versamill zirconia procedure and i can tell you it is whisper quiet. like sit perfectly still and you will strain your ears to hear the cutters engage. specifically for versamill this means its a highly controlled method. yes you will need to clean your machine often and keep the pumps running so the sludge doesnt break the pumps. but acoustics alone arent a good reason. im certain steve has posted his reasons before ....
