Carvera Air
I took a bit before writing this to make sure I could recommend this machine without reservations. I can. It is solidly built and has been accurate on everything I have fabricated on it so far. The software is easy to use, and the video tutorials are extensive: (caveat: I would have liked to have a bit more in text format). It is an excellent machine for smaller, light milling perfectly suitable for my use which is robotic parts fabrication. It will mill aluminum, and I presume brass, with no issue, although an add on air-cooling unit is recommended -hint: check on those made for laser etch cooling – Amazon has several of those. It is noisy but not excessively loud. The vacuum I used to pull up wood and plastic chips is quite a bit louder. I bought some additional bits for PCB work directly from Makara since they werent available on Amazon and received the order promptly.

Very nice machine
I’ve found it tricky to use so far. I needed to thoroughly read the documentation and explore many videos. I was getting many emergency stop errors. I did not realize that the switch, once activated, doesn’t come back up by itself. I must say I needed to thoroughly read the documentation. It is not a simple machine, and it has an extraordinary number of capabilities many of which are rather complex. The accuracy is phenomenal! It does many things automatically reducing the cumbersome problem of programming. I’m used to doing many things manually where it does this automatically. One just needs to be patient and study all the documentation. I was able to use FreeCAD to generate files or drawings which it can import. Then, I program the tool paths. It is great!

Nice little CNC machine – perfect for the beginner
Great machine, the quick tool change is huge time saver. Very stable and built like a tank. My first projects were some name badges in 2-layer acrylic. Both used a 1mm flat end clearing bit and details with a 0.2mm 30 degree engraving bit. The ease of using these two for this operation (pocket) is very cool – you just add the two bits to the toolpath and it knows what to do. The gold badge was contour cut with the same engraving bit. The blue badge has a chamfered edge made with a 0.1mm 90 degree chamfer bit.

Great for the price!
Great for the price! Wrote support@makera.com a question and received a response within 24 minutes. I have been enjoying cutting, drilling, and milling aluminum molds. Started with a small drill bit and the job took 8 hours. I purchased a larger drill bit and the same job took 2 hours.

Never worked
It never worked for me and support was unable to resolve my issues.

Buy Makera… Reasonable quality great until there’s an issue… which they IMMEDIATELY addressed
A saga – read to the end.Well I was excited when it showed up. I opened the box and the bottom corner of the front panel was cracked – I didn’t notice it for a day or so, the plastic held together and it wasn’t until I opened and closed it about 10-12 times that I saw it – OK cosmetic blemishes no worries. I need function over formUsing flatcam I generated gcode for a large time-sensitive 2-layer pcb project. The very first function: drill guide pin holes for alignment when flipping the PCB. The -Y axis travel sounds like a groan – likely a limit switch or something got knocked out and a stepper is firing like mad.I was able to run an auto level cycle (a nice touch) but when the dreaded “S2000 M03” came into the picture, the X,Y and Z axis were moving… but no spindle.Now we get online – dozens of mentions of running tests in the diagnostics panels – it’s all over the place – everywhere but on the Makera Wiki – a search for the letters DIA bombs out – no mention of diags in the documentation.Now it’s time for a beer – let’s see what their support is like – honestly, I’m not hopeful. Returning this ain’t gonna be fun – packing a myriad of items back into a box… not happy. Glad I didn’t buy the big one that I originally wanted.EDIT:Makera was as immediately responsive as possible given the time zones. In the meantime, I discovered the spindle issue was a post error – once I hand edited the right format and removed blank lines, the spindle powered up. Also, although there is no mention anywhere in the docs or carvera controller, the “diags screen” is what you get when you click the arrow on the right side of the carvera controller screen.Tech support received video/audio of the shuddering issue and advised me to grease the ball screws – I did this to no avail – still waiting to hear back on this one.The cracked front shield appears to be a manufacturing line defect – the corner in question has a shcs that looks like it was overtightened. The setting ring on the torque-screwdriver used on the assembly line must have been getting sloppy. I forwarded pics and feedback and there was a fedex truck here the next business day (seriously – impressed.)I purchased the machine to run proto circuit boards – I am seeing z axis drop out at the end of the +X travel – this could be my doing as the machine has auto-probed leveling – the board I am running is 2″ x 10.5″ – the dropout started at around 1.5×9.0 and continued to the X limit, with the bit not cutting into any copperclad by the limit. Close to datum I had some ADC traces that held 6mil which impressed me.I have the intentions to attempt a 4-layer “glue-up” and see if I can develop a reasonable process to that end. If it works out, I’ll post it on youtube.

Beyond Expectations – Compact Powerhouse!
I was genuinely surprised when unboxing – the build quality feels premium, way beyond typical desktop CNCs. Despite its compact footprint (fits perfectly on my workbench), the work area handles my projects with room to spare.The Makera CAM software is a game-changer: set up my first job in 5 minutes, and the wireless controller worked flawlessly from my iPad. Zero crashes or confusing menus!Can’t wait to carve aluminum prototypes and custom gifts. This isn’t just a tool; it’s my new creative partner.

Makera Air one great machine for the home workshop and lab.
This is one great machine. It arrived on time and undamaged. I had it making parts the next day, I have been using CNC machines for years this one top them all.Thankyou Makera.Jay Hoppe
