Beginner questions Thread milling Pocket V2-10

#1

Hello everyone, hello dear Penta employees,

My name is Christian, I am 36 years old and come from Germany, living in Regensburg near Munich (Bavaria).

I own a Pocket V2-10. The machine was manufactured in 2018 and delivered by Penta in November. The machine number is 1355.

I still have the older Legacy Software version with update v4.8.1.

I have owned the machine since January 2015 and am still a beginner and inexperienced.

I program with Fusion, but I am still a beginner and have little experience.

Now I have a question: I need to machine several threads: M5, M10x1, and M12.

Is it possible to do thread milling with the Pocket NC?

I would appreciate any help or information.

Happy holidays!

Regards, Christian

I have milled threads on my V2-10 (M3 and 4-40). It’s easy with a thread milling tool.

I realet reconmend to Upgrade the software to Kinetic Control. Worth every penny!
