Product Description
Raw Avantic Extended 2025
The Extended series is the same machine as the Avantic but with more steel to make the machine stiffer. The frame is made of laser-welded steel tubing. The entire Z-axis has been rebuilt and has built-in motors. We have stronger steel tubing between the profiles on the X-axis to stiffen the entire structure. The machine is cut out with our own laser machines and precision welded in jigs with state-of-the-art laser welders. The plates (all white parts in the picture) are made of strong powder-coated steel sheet metal, otherwise it is the same machine as the Avantic series.
Delivery time: approx. 20-30 Days.
Note, This Extended model is for 2025, more pictures and video will come soon…
Describing the machine requires a lot of text so here is a summary, more advanced text below
- The machine is complete and you can start cutting with it straight away.
- The machine can be ordered in three different sizes, 1500x2000mm with cutting surface: (W)1220mm x (L)1710mm, 1180x1500mm with cutting surface: (W)720 x (L)1210 mm and 1180x1000mm with cutting surface: (W)720 x (L)720mm
- It is not difficult to operate the machine, once you have done it you will know. All the text below makes it look complicated but it is simple. see our instructional video at the bottom of the page.
- The machine is controlled with any Windows computer via USB port and a program called Mach3. If you do not already have it, you must select it in the drop menu above. The files you are going to cut are set in a so-called CAM program. Read more about the software below.
- You can draw simpler models in the CAM software we recommend, if you need more complex parts you can use any CAD program (drawing program) you want, the machine is compatible with most drawing programs on the market.
Options
There are many options for the machine. At the bottom of the page we will go through all the options for this machine.
2.2kw spindle
Avantic is delivered with a powerful, air or water-cooled 2.2 kw spindle with integrated inverter that is connected to other electronics. These spindle’s are strong, quiet and reliable. We use these ourselves and have done so for many years. With this spindle you can use inserts from 1-13mm (ER 20). We include a pair of end mills and so you get started.
Protection and dust hood
All our machines are delivered with a protective cover that effectively absorbs dust and any splinters.
Calibration
Raw Avantic Extended has safety, homing and calibration switches for safety and precision. The switches are so-called Proximity switches that have no mechanical parts. Proximity switches are extremely accurate so that the machine can return to its “home” position with the best possible precision.
The safety switches ensure that the machine cannot go too far, but stops the system and spindle as soon as the machine goes too far in any direction.
Precision
Precision is a balance between user and machine. It’s about how good your drawings are, spindle, rpm and how fast you cut. At a normal speed of approx. 2-4000m/min, the machine has the same accuracy as expensive industrial machines.
The machine is built to mainly cut wood, plastic and similar materials. You can cut aluminum but it requires experience regardless of the machine you use.
Is it difficult to work with a CNC machine?
No, it’s simple. Raw Avantic is one of the easiest machines to work with on the market. We have placed great emphasis on making the machines as easy to operate as possible. You do not need to have previous knowledge or education. The only difficult thing is to draw your parts, the rest is easy. Once you have cut your first piece, you will understand. Watch our videos on the website and YouTube to see how easy it is to work with a Raw Avantic machine
Linear guide rail
Avantic is delivered with guide rails and blocks of Hiwin type. Guide rails have an extreme precision that ensures that the axles do not have any “play” Guide rails are preferable to other solutions.
On each block (12 pcs) there is a grease nipple. You can choose to lubricate the machine through them or use spray lubrication that you spray on the rails themselves.
Consumption table (Waste board)
The consumable table is made of MDF and consists of two tables, a base table and a consumable table. You can easily cut out a new consumable table in MDF or other material after you have worn out the old one.
The rails are specially made to fit our clamps. The table is of the infinity type which means that you can run longer pieces than the table by pushing it forward between runs.
NEMA 23 hybrid servo motors
Choose standard NEMA 23 or Closed loop, hybrid servo motors. Hybrid servo motors have the ability to self-correct to prevent the machine from losing position. This machine has a gear ratio of 2:1 on each motor.
Do you need more expensive Hybrid servo motors?
No, not really. Today’s electronics are so good that they rarely lose position. If the machine loses position, the fault may be due to something else that should be addressed in any case.
We have chosen Nema 23 electronics and a 2.2kw spindle to stop at 1-phase and 220 volts.
What can I cut with a Raw Avantic Extended?
Soft wood, hard wood, chipboard, MDF, plastic, aluminum, sign making, 3D cutting and engraving etc. All materials have different properties and require the right speed and end mill. But after a little practice, it’s easy.
Advantage of our desktop machines
We always try to keep the weight of our machines down. If you compare a larger Avantic that weighs about 150-200kg, a steel machine weighs up to 2 tons in the same dimensions.
A steel machine can only stand on concrete floors, while an Avantic can stand anywhere you want and can even be carried up or down stairs.
A steel machine requires a truck or crane truck that can unload 2 tons. To bring in a steel machine, you need large gates, while an Avantic can be moved with a pallet lift and through doors. If the machine is in the way, it can be moved. Our machines do not have the same mass as expensive industrial machines, but if you are cutting wood, plastic or aluminum, it is more than enough.
Beveled racks.
The machine comes with straight racks as standard. Straight racks work well but have a louder sound and more vibrations. The vibrations are only noticeable when you operate the machine with the arrow keys, when cutting the motors work in a different way and provide a smooth operation even with straight racks.
Beveled racks are more expensive but make the machine quiet and provide a very smooth operation with less backlash.
Both versions work well and the result of the cutout is almost the same, the big difference is the sound from the racks.
How is the machine delivered?
Due to high delivery costs for large machines this machine comes in larger parts that the user must assemble themselves. You have to assemble the table itself and attach the consumable table, the rest comes in large parts.
Please note that we assemble the entire machine and take it down for shipping. If you want it completely assembled, you must be responsible for shipping or pick up the machine on site. When the machine is screwed together and then taken down, there may be marks from screws.
Software
Cutting with a CNC machine requires 2-3 different software’s such as drawing, CAM (set up the files you drew) and Control software (to run the file). To control this machine we use Mach3. The CAM software we recommend is available in different versions and is called Vectric. the software also has an integrated drawing program for simpler models and you can get by with these two programs in the beginning. Read more about the CAM software below this text. If you outgrow the drawing part in the CAM, you can use more advanced drawing software’s such as Auto CAD or Fusion360 and others. If you are unsure how to do it and what software is needed, we will help you, just ask.
Mach3
Mach3 is the most used control software in the world, which means that there is more support and features for this software than any other. Mach3 looks outdated but we have updated it with our own UI to make it look more modern. The update is completely free and instructions can be found here: Update Mach3, see image to the right.
UCCNC, Linux or other control software
Avantic is compatible with most control software but we only have settings for Mach3. If you have decent knowledge of control programs, it is easy to set the machine to any option.
To set up the machine
After your machine is delivered, it must be set up with control software to be able to run. You can also choose to include a computer when purchasing. The computer is then completely installed, but you need to purchase a monitor, mouse and keyboard.
We have a guide for this at the top of the page “Configure your machine here” If you run into obstacles or feel you don’t have time, we can do it for you. Send the computer to us while you build your machine. The computer must be version WINDOWS 7-10. The computer does not need to have high performance as it is only supposed to control the machine. We recommend that you have a separate computer to control the machine. Alternatively, you buy a computer from us with everything already installed,
Built-in motors
All motors on an Avantic Extended are built-in and protected from shocks and dust. The motor covers are easy to remove for service or repair.
The motors can be easily removed and sent to us for service if necessary. This machine has a gear ratio of 2:1 on each motor.
Rebuilt Z-axis
The Z axis of an Extended machine is built of steel and has protected electronics. The axle is removable for easier servicing if needed.
Stronger base
The base/consumption table is now about 4cm thicker than before and makes the whole machine much more stable. this is important if you are cutting in tougher materials such as Aluminum or steel.
Built by workers for workers
Raw Avantic is manufactured in Sweden and developed by us who previously worked as furniture carpenters. The machine came as an alternative to the expensive, heavy Asia machines that usually have a delivery time of 3-4 months and with questionable support. We always have personal support and guarantees.
Steel plates
Previously, all plates were made of aluminum. With this model, we are switching to steel plates which are much heavier and more stable. A heavier machine provides more stability and thus better cuts. The frame of the machine is laser welded with strong steel tubes to avoid “Flex” for tougher jobs.
The steel plates are laser cut and powder coated to withstand tougher work.
More powerful and smarter electric box
The electrical box has been completely rebuilt for the Extended models. We have placed fuses on the outside of the box for easy service.
The box also has a visible hour meter to keep track of how much you are cutting. All connectors can be pulled out for possible service if necessary. The machines are still adapted for regular 220 volt sockets.
We build the machines with other machines
We build our machines with state-of-the-art fiber lasers, CNC machines and laser welders. We cut the parts with fiber lasers and then powder coat them in house.
The frames are laser welded in jigs to ensure a calibrated and strong structural steel machine in strength and precision.

Optional (select optional at the top of the page to see price)
Mach3
Mach3 is a control program for controlling the machine. There are different control programs such as UCCNC, Mach4, Linux and more. We have chosen to use Mach3 as it is the most used control program in the world which means that there are endless functions that can be downloaded, usually for free. The machine is compatible with almost all control programs that are not Arduino based, so you can change the control program whenever you want. Please note that we only have settings for Mach3, but if you are somewhat knowledgeable, it is easy to set the machine in any control program you want. If you include Mach3, you also get our updated user interface, which you can read about a little higher up.
Preset computer
You can choose to include a computer that is preset so that you can get started right away. The computer is new and a so-called Mini PC. The specifications of the computer are: Fanless CPU Intel N3350 MINI PC, Windows 10 Pro 6GB RAM 64GB ROM, WiFi HD VGA Dual-Screen Display, USB 3.0 Support M.2 2280 SSD. Please note that you need to purchase a screen, mouse and keyboard. The computer comes installed with everything you need to get started right away. The control program is only in Demo version but you can also choose Mach3 control program and we will install it for you.
Beveled racks and gears
The machine comes with straight racks as standard. Straight racks work well but have louder noise and more vibrations. The vibrations are only noticeable when you run the machine with the arrow keys, when cutting, the motors work in a different way and provide a smooth ride even with straight racks. Beveled racks are more expensive but make the machine quiet and provide a very smooth ride and less backlash. Both versions work well and the result of the cut is almost the same, the big difference is the sound from the racks.
Waste board
Choose between regular MDF or a dyed moisture-resistant variant. Choose moisture-resistant board if the machine is in an environment with large temperature changes, such as in a cold garage for example.
NEMA 23 hybrid servo motors
Choose standard NEMA 23 or Closed loop, hybrid servo motors. Hybrid servo motors have the ability to self-correct to prevent the machine from losing position.
Do you need more expensive Hybrid servo motors?
No, not really. Today’s electronics are so good that they rarely lose position. If the machine loses position, the fault may be due to something else that should be addressed in any case
Please note that the instructions below are for an older version of the Avantic. The machines today look and are slightly different but the instructions are the same.
