What does it cost to mill a unit with a Roland dwx-50

[ter01475]

I am currently trying to figure out what it would cost per unit for materials and burs for a Roland. I know the purchase price, but I am unsure what my other cost would be. Is anyone using this mill to make their custom abutments?

There's a ton of variables....gotta be more specific

depends on bur type, zirconia used, etc...

Some variables.....

in euro 5-6 deepened on your zirkon goes up to 10 so dollar maybe the same

there are hundreds of variables if you are looking for a very general number then there are only a couple easy variables:

(the % of the blank that was taken x the blank cost) + 2 dollars.

however when you factor this in the cost of your unit, also consider how much time it took to mill (as a % of an hr's wage) and double it.

that will be the cost of the scan and design time.
