Our philosophy?

See the need and create the solution

Small CNC Machine - the 5-axis Solo by Penta Machine Company sits in an office setting

After selling and supporting our flagship product, the Pocket NC, for 8 years - we became painfully aware of the fact that the options for 5 axis milling machines between our Pocket NC desktop machine and large industrial 5 axis machines were few and far between.

We observed customers whose primary constraint was the man-door entrance to their workspace using the Pocket NC machines for applications they aren’t well suited for.  We want our machines to be the first tool our customers turn to - not the last resort.

And so we decided to create a machine that would solve that problem, the Solo.  We know first hand that innovation doesn’t always start in a machine shop or even a garage(our company started in a garden shed). We aimed to pack all of the features you would find on an industrial 5 axis machine into a package that would still fit through a man door.
