Product Specifications

12.05" x 8.74" x 0.70" [306 x 222 x 17.8mm] 6061 Aluminum Fixture & Tooling Plate for Makera Carvera Air Desktop CNC Machines. Not compatible with the standard Carvera.

This fixture plate retains the 4mm alignment pin locations by installing over the standoffs in the Air's bed. Pins can then be installed as usual by passing them through the holes in the fixture plate (engraved with a '+' for easy identification). The plate has threaded M5 holes for using Makera's 4th axis and L-bracket accessories in addition to our 1/4" or M6 hole pattern.

INCH PLATES: Holes are 0.75" on center.  Every hole is tapped 1/4"-20.

METRIC PLATES: Holes are 20mm on center.  Every hole is tapped M6.

To install the plate the existing MDF bed will need to be removed, at which point our fixture plate mounts using the socket head screws removed from the MDF bed. 8mm standoffs for 4mm locating pins can remain in place.

NOTE: If you are machining conductive materials, you must cover the circuit board contacts before installing the fixture plate (see last image). Otherwise metal chips may fall through the fixture plate holes and cause a short. We recommend covering with hot glue, electrical tape, or installing set screws in the fixture plate to block the holes above the circuit board. You can also 3D-print our fixture plate plugs here.

Perfect fitment for my Carvera Air. M6 hole pattern gives way more mounting options than the stock MDF bed, and still retains pin and anchor locations for A1 and A2. Makes mounting a vise like the pictured SMW mod vise or Inception vise a breeze.

Makera Carvera Air Fixture Tooling Plate

Great, love it. You should have an install video for rookies. I would like to do an A/B with a steel one. Can you make it in 1080? I’ll pay. Let me know.otherwise it is of such stunning quality it almost seems a shame to tool on it…NO, putting it through its paces is the most fun. Thanks again Richard

Love it! Wish I bought the dent/ding version since the first thing I did was drill a hole in it while learning MakeraCAM. Whoops! Guess I'll be back soon...
