Contour milling

Our motto is “See the need, create the solution.” and that’s exactly what we did. We realized that just because you’re working in an office or research lab doesn’t mean you don’t need a small CNC full that’s fully capable.

Face milling

From startups to established companies across a wide range of industries, our machines facilitate rapid prototyping and on-the-fly design iterations, making it possible for specialized parts to be manufactured in nontraditional shop environments with high accuracy and consistent results.

Our revolutionary Software Control and User Interface supports TCPC (tool point control center). The 5-axis industry standard makes programming more intuitive, with the highest level of precision.

Penta Machine Co puts 5-axis, automation-capable design in the hands (and shops, spare rooms, and sheds) of more thinkers and doers. We don’t just build products — we create innovative solutions and imagine new possibilities.

Penta helps reduce the barriers to machining training so more people can learn and perfect advanced machining skills. From high schools and universities to research labs and vocational programs, our portable, powerful 5-axis machines and user-friendly software take up very little space and operate off standard wall power.

Pocket milling program

Cofounded in 2011 by husband and wife engineer team Matt and Michelle Hertel, Penta was born with the creation of the Pocket NC. Our products are made in-house in our Belgrade, Montana warehouse by our small but growing team of creative problem-solvers, talented hard workers, and open-minded thinkers who value curiosity, collaboration, and perfection in the details.

Pocket milling

It fits on your desktop, takes standard G-code and can get the work done in materials with hardnesses up to that of aluminum.

We’re the same great team you’ve worked with for years, and we’re thrilled to announce our new name and fresh look. Since the beginning, we’ve been dedicated to advancing the spirit of innovation — through our products, and for our customers. That means we’re always looking for ways to do things differently — to do things better. That means expanding our line of machines, and moving the Pocket NC under a bigger brand umbrella.

As Penta Machine Company, we look forward to providing you with the same or better level of service and professionalism you’ve experienced in the past.
