How do I choose A POCKET NC MODEL?

Choosing the right Pocket NC machine for your needs is essential to get the most out of your CNC projects. Each model offers unique features, with varying levels of precision, speed, and functionality. Whether you're a hobbyist, educator, or professional, here’s a breakdown to help you decide which model is best for you.

First off, many of the specifications on all Pocket NC models are the same, for instance they both run off the same power, the work envelope is the same on all machines and all machines include automatic tool setting. For the V2-10 and V2-50CHK the only difference is the spindle - all the specifications for the axes are the same such as backlash, deflection, repeatability, resolution, and max speed of each axis.

V2-8Lite: Entry-Level 5-Axis Machining

The V2-8Lite is our newest and most affordable 5-axis CNC machine. It’s designed for makers, educators, and small-scale manufacturers who need the core benefits of CNC machining at a lower cost. While it offers slightly reduced precision and spindle speed(8,000RPM) compared to the V2-10 and V2-50CHK, it is perfect for small projects, prototyping, and educational use.

V2-10: Mid-Level Performance and Precision

The V2-10 is the perfect balance of price and performance. It’s suitable for a wide range of materials and projects, offering enhanced spindle speed(10,000RPM) and precision compared to the V2-8Lite. Each machine goes through a rigorous assembly and calibration process to ensure the highest quality build. It also comes standard with advanced software features - Tool Center Point Control (TCPC) and an embedded machine simulator.

V2-50CHK: High-Performance Precision Machining

For those who need top-tier precision and speed, the V2-50CHK is our most advanced model. It offers the highest spindle speeds(50,000RPM) and precision, making it ideal for high-tolerance applications and professional-grade parts. The high spindle speed allows for increased material removal rates and excellent surface finishes. It goes through the same rigorous build and calibration process as the V2-10 and also comes with Tool Center Point Control functionality as well as an embedded Simulator

Each Pocket NC model is designed to cater to different needs and budgets, so no matter which you choose, you’ll have access to the power and flexibility of 5-axis CNC machining.
