Good evening all.

Does anyone know if you can face a caliper mount on a carbon frame in much the same way as steel or alu frame?

Think Park do the tool, but wanted to check.

Thanks in advance.

In most cases. Yes.
Many that I've done have an alu insert in the carbon which sits proud of the carbon. If not, park also make a diamond abrasive adaptor thing that attaches to their facing tool.

Check this video for some potential clearance issues with the tool to check against your frame.
