## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10763:1` (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/CE10763:1.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)

## Description

Step up to 6.35mm (1/4in) shank cutters on your Carvera or Carvera Air. Both machines ship with a 1/8in (3.175mm) collet, which suits most desktop jobs. When you want heavier roughing in wood, foam or epoxy, or you already own a drawer of 1/4in router bits, this collet opens up that tooling.

This is a genuine Makera high-precision collet made for the Carvera spindle. It keeps runout low and works with the auto tool changer, so moving to larger cutters doesn't mean giving up the machine's automated workflow.

Changing collets takes a few minutes with the tools that came with your machine:

- Drop the current tool (control software on Carvera, handle on Carvera Air)
- Insert the spindle collet installer and turn it anticlockwise to remove the fitted collet
- Fit this collet the same way, without overtightening
- Fit a 6.35mm probe tail shaft to your wireless (Carvera) or wired (Carvera Air) probe
- Fit 6.35mm bit collars to your 1/4in tools with the bit collar installer
 
### Features

- Stiffer cuts and less deflection on roughing passes, thanks to the larger 6.35mm shank
- Use the 1/4in end mills and router bits you already own on your Carvera
- Low runout for clean edges and accurate parts, from a high-precision collet made for the Carvera spindle
- Works with the auto tool changer when your tools are fitted with 6.35mm bit collars
- Run 1/8in and 4mm bits in the same collet with Makera 6.35mm bit adapters, so you don't have to swap collets mid-job
- Genuine Makera part, made to fit the Carvera and Carvera Air spindles
