Please note: - Parts are heavy and sensitive and will be shipped on a pallet (best safety for transit), this product contains items that require equipment to move/unload - Treat this equipment like a technician would, read the instructions before use, and perform regular maintenance - Get in touch for assistance ## Pricing - **Price:** $10,651.24 (inc GST) — $9,682.95 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 3+ $8635.64 (exc GST) · 5+ $8365.77 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Sep 01 and Oct 12. ## Restrictions This product incorporates a laser system. Before purchasing or using laser equipment (including modules, components, or complete machines such as laser cutters and engravers), please consider the following: - These products are intended for professional, educational, industrial, or supervised workshop environments. - Operators should be appropriately trained and understand laser safety practices, including enclosures, signage, PPE, and safe operating procedures where applicable. A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10409:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10409:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Makera Carvera is a compact desktop CNC designed for precision work with built‑in automation and clean operation. It combines auto tool changing, auto probing, an internal dust collection system, an in-built laser and support for an optional 4th axis. ### Auto Tool Changing & Auto Probing Automatically swap [end mills](https://core-electronics.com.au/cnc-machines/makera/cnc-bits.html) and engraving bits on the Makera Carvera desktop CNC router to minimise manual setup and accelerate precision milling, PCB routing and part fabrication. The integrated auto-probe sensor handles workpiece positioning and tool calibration for consistent accuracy and precision in any project. ### Built-In Dust Collection The Makera Carvera desktop CNC router includes an integrated dust collection and extraction system that captures chips and debris at the spindle head. The built-in vacuum module maintains a clean work area, reduces airborne dust, and makes cleanup for wood, plastic and PCB milling simple. Or supercharge extraction with [the Makera Cyclone extractor](https://core-electronics.com.au/makera-cyclone-dust-collector.html) - with a much larger capacity and more powerful extraction. ### Integrated Laser Module Leave your mark on materials with a 2.5W diode laser - built right into the gantry. No interuptions or tool changes between CNC milling and engraving. ### Optional 4th Axis Module Enhance the Makera Carvera desktop CNC router with the [optional 4th axis rotary module](https://core-electronics.com.au/makera-carvera-4th-axis-module-expansion.html) for true 4-axis simultaneous machining. Perform cylindrical machining, double-sided routing and full 3D relief carving on shafts, tubes and complex contours with 360° part rotation. ### Endless Capabilities - **PCBs:** Load Gerber or PCB routing files into the Makera Carvera desktop CNC router for [on-request PCB milling](https://core-electronics.com.au/makera-cnc-pcb-fabrication-pack.html). Auto tool changing, auto-levelling, a solder-mask removal tool, and an optional laser engraving module streamline your electronics prototyping workflow. - **Robot Parts:** CNC mill durable plastics, aluminium and composites to produce load-bearing brackets, gears and mounts stronger than 3D-printed alternatives - no outsourcing required. - **Artwork:** Carve intricate designs in wood, acrylic, metal or [a range of other materials](https://core-electronics.com.au/cnc-machines/makera/materials.html) with the Carvera’s high-speed spindle. Achieve smooth surfaces and fine detail, exactly as you designed it. - **Custom, unique useful... Stuff:** There really isn't much you can't make with the Carvera, so design and make custom parts that work for you! ### Specifications - **Automation**: Automatic tool changer with a 6‑tool library and auto probing. One wireless probe is included. - **Work area (3‑axis)**: 360 × 240 × 140 mm - **Optional 4th‑axis work area**: Ø92 mm × 240 mm Gantry clearance: 120 mm - **Spindle**: 200 W, 0–15,000 RPM closed‑loop control.
