Makera previously launched the Carvera desktop CNC, to much acclaim. Unfortunately, the machine was too expensive for many. In response, Makera now has the Carvera Air, a cheaper version that still retains many smart features. In this video, I test it out to determine the strengths and weaknesses, to let you make an informed decision.

This machine was provided to me free of charge by Makera for the purposes of making this video. All opinions expressed are my own. The machine will be donated to a local school where I am certain it will do a fantastic job.
