PocketNC V1 | £3750
CNC 5Axis
The PocketNC v1 is a precision-engineered, 5-axis CNC mill ideal for prototyping and small-batch production. Built to deliver professional-grade performance in a compact form factor, it remains a valuable tool for technical users seeking affordability without sacrificing capability.
Key Technical Specifications:
-
- Machining Envelope: Ø3.0″ (76.2 mm) x 3.5″ (88.9 mm) cylindrical workspace.
- Material Compatibility: Aluminium, plastics, and wood (light machining of steel possible).
- Axis Configuration: 5-axis simultaneous control (XYZ linear axes + A/B rotational axes).
- Spindle Speed: Up to 10,000 RPM, with a belt-driven spindle.
- Accuracy: Repeatability of ±0.002″ (±50 µm), sufficient for precision prototypes.
- Tooling: ER11 collet system supports tools up to 1/8″ shank diameter.
- Controller: Linux CNC, compatible with Fusion360 and other CAM software.
- Power Requirements: Standard 110/220V AC with a small power footprint (~200W).
The PocketNC v1 is a cost-effective solution for engineers, educators, and machinists looking to explore 5-axis capabilities. Compact, precise, and backed by a strong technical community, the PocketNC is a very capable machine.
Experience with CNC and fusion360 is recommended.
Note : Few small marks on the top surface of the spindle bearing. No effect on performance of the bearing.
Only ever had an issue with the spindle’s encoder. Simply needed to be glued back in place.
Prioritizing local pickup and direct bank transfer for this machine but open to discussion about alternative payment method and shipping within the Uk (£145 insured for £3750).
