Makera Z1 Desktop CNC: Entry-level CNC, Pro-level Power

BACK IT NOW 

Protect your Z1’s aluminum bed with high-quality spoilboards made from 6 mm waterproof MDF, CNC-machined for excellent flatness and repeatability.
The extra thickness ensures better rigidity and surface consistency, it supports direct use of double-sided tape and allows for double-sided positioning.

Z1’s built-in wired probe and anchor-point system allow you to set work coordinates quickly and precisely, covering the majority of everyday machining tasks.
The 3D probe rod enables precise X/Y/Z edge finding and machine coordinate calibration on metal materials. With runout accuracy within 0.02 mm, it delivers reliable results for demanding machining tasks.


Driven by a high-torque spindle and closed-loop speed control up to 13,000 RPM, Makera Z1 delivers uncompromising cutting power in a compact 17 kg frame. The NEMA 17 stepper motors, linear rail motion system, and Acme lead screw drive maintain steady force and flawless motion across metal, wood, and composite materials. Every cut feels smooth, stable, and precise.

With 0.02 mm resolution and 0.01 mm spindle runout, Z1 achieves machine-shop accuracy right on your desktop. Its rigid gantry, quick-change tool system, and AeroDust™ active chip evacuation keep every pass clean and perfectly aligned. The result: crisp edges, smooth surfaces, and professional-grade parts that fit perfectly.

Swap tools in seconds with zero downtime. Whether you’re switching from a cutting bit to an engraving tip or a milling tool, Z1’s intuitive quick-change system keeps your workflow smooth and your results precise, even for beginners.

Even with careful setup, workpieces can vary in thickness or surface level. Z1’s auto-probing system measures the material in real time and levels it automatically before machining. Every project starts perfectly aligned, ensuring precise cuts and engravings with consistent results every time.


Z1’s AeroDust™ Collection System maintains a clean and stable machining environment. The high-pressure blower delivers concentrated airflow through a dual-channel duct design, effectively removing chips and fine particles during operation. A bottom dust outlet captures residual debris, ensuring consistent precision, protecting internal components, and keeping your workspace clear for uninterrupted performance.

Crafted with precision, the Z1’s lightweight frame provides a solid foundation for high-accuracy machining. Its robust structure minimizes vibration and flex, ensuring every cut, carving, and engraving maintains consistent precision — even during demanding projects.

With the built-in camera, Z1 lets you monitor the machining process remotely in real time. The time-lapse feature makes it easy to capture and share the entire creation process, giving you a seamless way to showcase your work.

Z1’s fully enclosed design, combined with intelligent noise reduction, keeps your workspace calm and distraction-free. Focus on your projects while Z1 works quietly, maintaining a clean and safe environment.

With Z1’s 4-axis module, you can easily work on cylinders, double-sided pieces, and full 3D shapes. Compatible with acrylic, wood, and metal, it delivers precise, versatile machining for complex projects.

The 445 nm semiconductor diode laser with 5 W power delivers precise cuts and detailed engravings across a variety of materials.

A crucial component of the AeroDust™ Collection System, the Makera Cyclone Dust Collector Lite utilizes high-efficiency cyclone separation combined with a multi-stage filtration system to greatly extend filter life while maintaining clean, breathable air in your workspace.

Introducing the first one-click CAM software made for everyone. Makera Studio automatically generates optimized toolpaths for your project with no complex setup and no steep learning curve. Just import, preview, and start machining. Powerful automation meets effortless control.
