What accessories should I buy for the V2-10 and V2-50?
The Pocket NC V2 comes with a tool kit that includes enough parts to get you started, listed here (V2-10) and here (V2-50). If you want suggestions for a basic starter kit:
-
The Pocket NC Enclosure: If you want the chips to be contained within a space, the enclosure is a good purchase. If your area is already in a shop, it may not matter as much. For education we do recommend getting an enclosure to keep new learners safe. We also offer an enclosure with a safety switch. The enclosure with the safety switch turns off the spindle when the door of the enclosure is opened. This is recommended in Europe to be CE compliant.
-
Tool Holder and Collet Multipack (V2-10 only): If you are doing tool changes throughout the program it’s convenient to preload some end mills into the tool holders and have them waiting in the rack. This comes with 3 extended tool holders, 1 standard tool holder, 4 ER11 collets, and the tool holder rack.
- For the V2-50 we recommend the ER40 Fixture with Collet and the Datron Tooling Pack as a good starter kit.
For a more comprehensive starter kit:
-
The V2-10 Accessory Bundle (For V2-10 only) : Tool Holder and Collet Multipack, Tooling Pack (10 end mills), ER40 fixture with Collet, and Edge Finding Tool Holder (For V2-10 only).
-
Material: You may want to consider an assortment of material to get you started, especially some B-stock. The education material pack includes all of our softer delrin and wax materials.
