It’s a horizontal mill with 5 axis? What’s the control software? Where did that come from? Where did you buy it? Very interesting...Just had to share...
Been without my Pocket NC for over three months. Sent it off for repair and an upgrade...
Just out of the box yesterday. Now if only I knew how to work it!!!
Pocket NC V2-50 (50000 RPM Spindle)
Another question... What type of cutter is this?

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.It’s a horizontal mill with 5 axis? What’s the control software? Where did that come from? Where did you buy it?

You bet, the V2-50 has a 50,000 rpm spindle which makes it very versatile. If you look at a guy on Instagram @ekramer3, he is cutting several types even titanium.Holy cow! That thing is amazing!
Congrats
One question—when I went to the web site all the examples seemed to be wood, plastic or AL. Can it mill mild steel?
I think you would be surprised at the rigidity of this little machine. You are welcome to come and see it some time.
It can as per video do 4140 and stainless so I think mild steel 1018 should not be an issue.
Just don't expect rigidity of a large machine from a bread-maker sized one. Also don't expect much in the area of accuracy when cutting harder stuff.
Wow. Lucky you. If that isn't fun I don't know what is.You bet, the V2-50 has a 50,000 rpm spindle which makes it very versatile. If you look at a guy on Instagram @ekramer3, he is cutting several types even titanium.

I read up on the history of these guys, as I'm sure you did. I love when small companies start up like that, especially as a kickstart.
Were you one of the early adopters???
So cool. Please post as you learn how to use this little beauty.
Looks great. It would be a great to see a video of it running
Good for you. I'll watch for pics in the future. So many possibilities here. Have fun.I will post as I learn more as to what I am doing. It is so different than my first machine I feel like I am starting all over again.
