Over at Reddit, someone posted about a Makera A1S CNC ad that landed in their social media feed.
A year ago, Makera launched the Z1, a benchtop CNC machine for beginners. See The Makera Z1 is a New Benchtop CNC for Beginners.
They sent me a Z1 test sample over the summer. I’m still working with it. Overall, The Makera Z1 is about what I expected. There are limitations, but it’s more modern and user-friendly than other benchtop CNC machines I have previously used. I’ll have more posts about my Z1 experiences soon.
What’s the Makera A1S about?
From the looks of it, the A1S could be an upgrade to the brand’s mid-tier Carvera Air machine, given its vacuum and automatic tool changer.
The graphic says the Makera A1S is stronger, smarter, smoother.
A post on Makera’s social media feed references the A1S, but appears to feature the Z1.
Makera also has separate posts teasing a new product reveal that will take place November 17-20.
Makera is currently running Black Friday deals on their Carvera, Carvera Air, and Z1 benchtop CNC machines.
Makera Black Friday deals are said to end November 19, 2026. There will probably be Cyber Monday deals after that.
If you’re in the market for a Makera CNC machine, you might want to wait until the new product reveal in a few weeks.
I’ll keep an eye open for more details about the new Makera A1S CNC. We don’t know much yet, but I figured it would be a good idea to ensure your holiday deal shopping is as informed as possible.
