Steps to Mill Partials

1. Prepare the Part:

 

2. Remove Supports:

  • Use a milling tool to remove the remaining supports, especially around the clamps on the partial. This ensures the partial will fit properly on the plaster.

 

3. Polish the Surface:

  • After milling, switch to a polishing tool on the milling head. Smooth out the surface to enhance the fit and finish.

 

4. Finalize and Test Fit:

  • Polish all sensitive edges of the partial. Test the fit by placing the partial onto the plaster model. Verify that there are no gaps, ensuring a perfect fit.

By following these steps, you can achieve precise and professional results.
