[QUOTE="Wainwright, post: 328741, member: 20457"] So, zirconia, lithium disilicate grinding, and titanium abutments? A machine that does all of those well will be very expensive. I always recommend focusing on your primary application, like zirconia for example, starting there and add machines specifically for other applications as you get comfortable. My reasoning is you can get a milling machine that is just dry, for zirconia, pretty affordably and it will be easy to run/maintain. Switching from milling, to grinding, to metal milling is a lot of work and you really can't cheap out. 5 axis Dry mill ~30k Swiss army knife all materials mill ~100k I hope this helps. Sorry I don't have any specific recommendations. Its been a few years since I've supported/sold/used milling machines and a lot has changed I'm sure! [/QUOTE]
