What is the optimal Speed / Feed Rate with Harvest Nano Zirconia?

Modified on Wed, 27 May at 12:05 PM

Related to Feed / Speed Rate for Harvest Nano Zirconia, all these components really matter related to optimal Speed / Feed:


  1. Tooling - Type and quality of tools matter a lot
  2. Machine Specs - Spindle Speed, Rigidity etc. 
  3. Quality of your Zirconia - The binderless Harvest Nano Zirconia has superior performance with more aggressive milling strategies, however the above 2 points are critical. 

Then... you will need to nerd out on - Chip Load - See this in depth article by expert Greg Everett here

Greg Everett recommends a good starting point for Chip Load is 0.03mm... then test your milling strategy and adjust from there. 

If you want to interact with Greg and his expert milling advice, then I highly recommend joining his Dental Tech Hub here

If you would like an email introduction to Greg he is available for an hourly fee for service consulting on advanced milling questions and strategies.
