I've only milled pmma once but it was clinging all over the place like static electricity was sticking it. What's up with that?
Do you run basic CAM ? Are you happy with the results? Adrian.We always clean our Mini and collet. Never had issue. Replaced the black rubber bur holders one time and touch plate after 2 years. It's a good mill!
Mini here basic cam. Results are fine. Great entry for me into a mill. Already looking forward to my next one. 5 axis wet-dry?D

Funny, I was speaking with Shenpaz about developing a 60 minute sintering furnace while at IDS. I do think the next couple of years we will see fast fire zirconia discs. We generally sell the regular Sintra. The primary difference is the cool rate is increased by adding a compressed air into the muffle. We have one here at CAP aand have not really noticed any difference in life expectancy.Bob i was thinking of getting the Shenpaz furnace from you. Do you sell or use the fast firing one, the plus one? I've seen a few not so good reviews here on the furnace. If you do fast sintering will it burn the elements faster? Adrian.
Yes, it mills very clean with no lines and very accurate. We have the MCX5 now, mainly for EMAX and difficult 5 axis cases. TheD

I think ts4341 was talking about the steps; when you say line, you are talking about a single line around the circumference? I think that means its time to run a calibration.You don't get any lines? I get a line around the circumference almost all the time. Easy to remove before sintering
Call the guys at Weiland tech support . They did mine via team viewer . There was no option available to do it myself (I only have basic cam) It took two minsI haven't had to replace the rubber bur holders yet, but it's getting close to that time. How in the world do you get the holes drilled out for the burs? Is there a program somewhere in the CAM or CNC software to drill them out? I have the advanced software, just so you know.
It needs to be set in service mode for the cam and there is an option to remill holes in the new rubber. Its easy and fast once you have the password which they do not want to give you as the majority of folks will click on things with out knowing what the hell it will do.
THe repair guys at IVOCLAR will walk you through it.
Iv'e been thinking about getting the advanced software for a while . I also hear it does a great job of designing support bars with big zirc cases. With the basic it's horrible Maybe they will give me a special price at the event fridayThanks, John They needed to manually set the calibration position (password protected) for the tool location and path. I had to let them know where the calibration pin was in centering it over the touch point. Then ran that calibration. Drilled the holes, and am running another calibration as I post.
Maybe the Basic software goes through this process easier? but I really like the control of bridge position in the disc, especially in my case for gradient PMMA temps, with the advanced software.
It's good you are thinking but you're not on the right thought process. Don't worry about the spindle as it relates to connectors. The spindle life will be related to hours of use. The best place to spue in on the equator or widest part of the restoration. I would stay away from proximal contact areas and use two connectors for everything but molars, where we use 3.
