I still say this is a bur issue...maybe not the right burs, not diamond coated (ultra diamond). We replace our zirconia burs at 35 hours, therefore 20 hours wouldn't be outside the norm if it's a generic brand of burs. You need some different burs!!!

I realized that as well. The bur causing the offense was the 2mm, and it was close to 30 hours, but it was also a CAP ultra bur. I replaced it with one of TD's diamonds, and the problem is gone.

i just had a talk with CAP rep about their ultras. i was seeing less than half the life they claimed, and for $160 each thats absurd. i ran nearly 3x the life on TD diamond coated burs and they are far less pricey....i told CAP this too. currently testing some ToolMack carbides, and may consider Sierra Nano tools, but not sure i can eat the cost difference if the TD burs will do the same job for 2-3x as long

From Bob:

when beginning a new puck for milling, put the tool holder up and you can carefully nest outside the puck on the left side.

also, i try to only mill a half dozen or so at a time. which allows for better grouping and milling "outside" the puck on the next batch. end result as you can see, there is a lot of overlap but in reality they were different mill jobs so i didn't hit any units still in the puck. and as you can see....there's a lot more in there

obviously as you move in toward the puck holder, don't nest too close or you'll hit it. and my guess is that your little chip issue may have been from a slight tap against the holder.

Good Info Bob, the next time I order I'm going to try Ron's burs at TD.

+1 on TDs Roland burs. Been using them for a couple months and they last just as long as name brand. Price is fantastic too.
