That's really cool, i am watching all episodes and reviews of your v2-50, i am from India. My brother stays in US. Due to covid-19 i am postponing buying it to next year. Good machine.
@M T i am having one more option, SWISS MAK- Millturn center. I did not decide which one to buy. This year business is very low, and it's not the correct time to make an investment. I will choose between the two and if i decide to go with pocket Nc, V2-50 is my choice.
@M T are you shoor that mak millturn isn't available? I have to probe, regarding this matter. 1) high rpm, better finishing. 2) i do fountain pens and many of its part's, serious hobby. Planning to do 1cc gas motor for RC planes.
@M T yah, you are right, that's the reason for thinking about, mak, as it has lathe and mill, both advantages. I will definitely consider your argument regarding the bug's and i too knew that, NC is having a good reputation.
Thank you for the demo. Speaking about files I use Shark FX (it's like V-Cad) is it possible to redraw the Step's with the Pocket CNC soft? I am asking this because the exported Step's from my Shark FX will make facets in the rounded shapes. Thanks
The Pocket NC just takes g-code and doesn't have an integrated modeling or CAM package. That said, if you import the step file into Fusion 360, you should be able to do the CAM and post-process it for Pocket NC no problem.
I know there are post-processors available for other CAM tools and assume there is something for Solidworks. You'd get a more authoritative answer if you asked PocketNC themselves.
While there likely are better options, probably not a whole lot better. This was mostly done with a Datron 2mm and 3mm single flute mills, which work pretty well with the V2-50. It achieves maximum torque around 40k rpm, so you really want a single flute.

Josh Pieper - Hello, thank you so much for your reply 👍🏼 Have a great day
Hey Josh, can I get that model for the vice you are using? I have the same and would love to get it!
I have a link to it at the bottom of my blog post: jpieper.com/2019/09/03/pocket-nc-4-jaw-chuck-workholding/

I use SOLID WORKS. Will the pocket NC work with it or will I need to buy and learn F360?

@@awesjosh cool. Thank you for responding.
Will you tell me about your adaptor (chuck)?
Sure, you can read about it here: jpieper.com/2019/09/03/pocket-nc-4-jaw-chuck-workholding/
Is that standard end Mill or would there be some better options?
