I purchased this Carvera Air with my own funds. This video is not sponsored.

This video shows the process of machining a custom NATO rail for the Sony FX3 / FX30 XLR Handle Unit (XLR-H1) using 4-axis machining on the Makera Carvera Air. With the 4th Axis Module, the entire part can be completed in a single setup without flipping the stock.

Accurate 4-axis machining requires proper calibration. Even a small offset in the A-axis machine zero can cause misalignment between the two sides, resulting in steps on the profile and holes.

I’m sharing my calibration workflow using the excellent, community-driven macros available in Carvera Controller Community and a 3D touch probe, and also how I quickly and accurately center and chuck a flat plate stock material that isn’t round or square using a dedicated jig.
