Serial Maker Fits a PCNC 440 into His NYC Basement

- Mike Dubno has been a maker since before making was a thing, and he was one of the first PCNC 440 owners. Now, he's making everything from burr puzzles to an Antikythera mechanism. Dubno has been involved in helping to bring Maker Faire to New York, he is a chairman with the NYC NJ FIRST robotics group, and founder of Gadgetoff. To get the new machine to his shop, Dubno had to enlist help, who had to “monkey [the PCNC 440] down an indoor flight of stairs. They pretty much moved it to my basement shop by hand,” he explains. That’s part of what inspired Dubno to buy the small mill. “I saw the 440 at Maker Faire. I was looking and hoping that there would be something like a nice CNC machine there, because other machines that I’ve converted to CNC, without ball screws, are a waste of time.”
With his brand new PCNC 440, Dubno has already gotten started on projects and has many more planned. His first is working with videogame developer and former astronaut Richard Garriott to develop automata - attempting to imitate life with a mechanical structure. “I’ve decided to work on a kind of light fixture where the fixture is electronically steerable. Instead of just making an electronically steerable light fixture, why not make it so it has computer controlled tentacles to move lights around." The Tentalux, intelligent lighting system is still a work in progress and hopefully will soon be illuminating dining rooms everywhere.

Damn Mike, I remember when that arm was just one arm flailing around. Great to see it having come this far!
Man I'd love to see the rest of this guys shop. He has soooo much money invested in that place!
Dude is CRAZY talented!
This is such a cool video. Thanks for sharing.
Does this guy have a TH-cam channel?
No, but we think he should.
yes!!! It would be great to have someone from NYC doing machining work and useful projects and share it on youtube.
Tormach Inc. Yeah, he should. But maybe he is not from the "sharing" kind of a guy. To be honest, and a little rude maybe (hey, I'm from NYC too). If he doesn't share, then why should I care what he does. If I can't learn a thing from him, than he was just wasting my time in this video.
