Ultimate Low Profile Workholding for the PocketNC -
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Workholding is always a challenge on 5-axis machines, and it was especially problematic for this project. Based on lessons learned from the first fixture, I came up with an even better low-profile bar stock adapter.

Enjoyed the Podcast where Eddy went out to Pocket NC and also enjoy seeing the 5 Axis videos on your channel too because just as the creators of the Pocket said on the podcast, 5 axis is the new 3 axis so this is now simply table stakes for metal machining.
Its quite hypnotizing watching the pocket Nc mill running :)
Amazing work after all!
That's definitely a nerf flywheel housing
Great work!
Do you have any recipes you use for the PocketNC? You posted Nomadbut not Pocket :P
Can you do a vidio on micro mills and very fine milling for flat sheets
It's on the list. Will likely end up on the Carbide3D channel as a #MaterialMonday video.
@@WinstonMakes i would love to see stuff on the tapered ball mill under 1 mm. I have done lots of work with them but i am not sure about the math behind chip loads and f&s. Can not find anything on youtube either
There's not much. Saunders has some tangential Y related stuff w/ his engraving F&S video. Best advice I can give is to check a reputable tool maker like Harvey who has thorough feeds and speeds recommendations for their catalog and use that as a starting point.
Did you make sculpture design engraving
Hmm, nitro powered nerf blaster!!!
What's with the sock over the top of the router on the shapeoko? Dust filter?
Precisely.
@@WinstonMakes Nice :) Hadn't thought of that, but good idea... even with vowing to never cut MDF again it would probably still help. Thanks!
It's primarily to guard against aluminum chips. For MDF you best best is still a dust shoe.
@@WinstonMakes ah, yeah. That would be important :)
I may be wrong but looks lie you;re getting a little shank rubbing on those side walls, if you;re going so deep with an end mill you need a little relief else as you go down long walls it will rub and chatter.
What happened with Project Malice?

Why not use Mitee Bite clamps?
Still needs a fixture thick enough to thread into, and additional radial margin around the part.
Why is it that a lot of the user videos I see for Pocket NC show them needing a large CNC machine to make something for the Pocket NC to work.
For $6000 bucks I want the Pocket NC to be the solution to a problem ...not create a problem that I need a 2nd cnc to fix.
Now I like the design of this little machine (maybe not the price) but that...^... is exactly what I was thinking.
Looks like a nerf motor housing
Nerf flywheel cage?
Since PocketNC raised the machine price to over 8 grand for the 2.5, they are dead to me.
That's for the 50k rpm version. That NSK spindle they use costs $3000 msrp. They are charging you a fair price compared to the base model...
@@WinstonMakes Be that as it may, putting a 50krpm spindle on such a small machine isn't a reasonable thing, or am I completely wrong here? Once you're approaching the 5-digit price range, Tormach and Syil become a competitive factor, so I don't think it is smart to just put a fast spindle on such a tiny machine. If they'd make the PocketNC in a scaled-up version using servo drives, then I'd consider that more reasonable and they could ask such prices no problem.
The way it stands right now it is too expensive for hobbyists and too small for professionals in many cases.
Tormach and Syil are completely different kinds of machines. The V2-50 shines with micro tooling, 1/8" or less. That high speed does amazing things for surface finish on metal parts. Look up @ekramer3 on instagram. He's been beta-testing the machine for PNC and the quality of his parts is a huge step up.
I've seen machines in the jewelry market with similar work areas that cost $40,000. The capability is definitely not mainstream, but for a small niche of users, it's actually an interesting offering. When they finally come out with an upgrade path for older machines, I'm considering taking the plunge.
@@WinstonMakes It makes sense for a niche like jewelry no doubt, it is just hard to justify putting a 3k USD spindle on a machine where the rest of the mechanics rely on stuff like trapezoid spindles instead of ballscrews etc.
It probably makes sense for what it is, I was just shocked how the prices creeped up over time, I was so close to order the V1 back in the days of Kickstarter but ended up not doing so because of money constraints. That was in the 3k ballpark. Seeing it approaching the 5 digits was just shocking, even with that crazy spindle.
