    You are correct, It is a horizontal 5 axis mill. Linux CNC is the core controller with a web interface. I bought my original machine on Kickstarter in 2014 and just now upgraded to the V2-50. Pocket NC is located in Montana. Richard

    Vibratory Tumbler?

    Hi I am getting 2000 aluminium pieces made each about 4x4x.125” in size. I am looking for a company to do some deburring and surface finishing so I can get them anodized. Anyone know of anyone or any place with a large vibratory tumbler that can do this quantity of work? Thanks, Richard
