Product Description
Raw Avantic Extended XL
Raw Avantic Extended is the result of more than 15 years of development, all driven by one clear goal: to create one of the most cost-effective, robust, and flexible CNC machines on the market.
Over the years, the Avantic series has evolved through several designs, from fully aluminum constructions to today’s version, where the machine’s most critical structural parts are made from powder-coated steel. The result is a machine that is used not only by hobby users, but also by businesses running real production in different parts of the world.
Raw Avantic Extended is delivered in a smart modular format and assembled by the customer. To make the process as simple and reliable as possible, all critical components are pre-assembled by us, including the complete Z-axis assembly, gearboxes, cabling, and electrical box. This means final assembly is straightforward and can normally be completed in just a couple of days, depending on your experience and how much time you choose to put into the build.
In the past, we built every machine completely in-house. But as demand has grown, we have refined Avantic Extended into a well-developed machine package where both we and the customer meet halfway. The benefits are clear: lower cost, faster delivery, and greater flexibility for anyone who wants the freedom to customize electronics or other parts of the machine.
This is about as close as you can get to a steel-built industrial CNC machine in a customer-assembled format. Raw Avantic Extended is designed for serious work in professional environments, offering high precision, strong construction, and performance you can rely on for years to come.

The fee is paid immediately, and once the payment has been registered, your place in the queue is secured. You can place your order as usual above, and we will then follow up with a separate invoice for the fee afterward. If you cancel your order before delivery, the pre-order fee will be refunded. Refunds are processed after administrative handling, normally within 14 days, and in exceptional cases no later than 30 days from the date the cancellation has been confirmed.
2.2 kW Spindle (Optional)
Air-cooled 2.2 kW spindle with integrated VFD, fully connected to the rest of the machine electronics. This spindle allows you to use tools from1–13 mm (ER20), giving you a wide working range for many different jobs.
We recommend the air-cooled version because it is simple to use, low-maintenance, and performs just as well when cutting wood and aluminum.
When purchasing the spindle, we also include a spindle mount and dust shoe at no extra cost. The dust shoe comes with a 100 mm connection, but can easily be reduced to 50 mm if needed. It helps collect dust efficiently and also protects the user from chips and debris.
Calibration
Raw Avantic Extended XL is equipped with dedicated safety, homing, and calibration switches designed to improve both precision and operational safety. The machine uses proximity switches with no mechanical moving parts, making them highly reliable, low-maintenance, and extremely accurate. This allows the machine to return to its home position with very high repeatability.
The safety switches are there to prevent the machine from traveling beyond its intended limits. If an overtravel situation occurs, the system immediately stops the machine and shuts off the spindle, helping protect both the machine and the operator.
Precision
Precision is always the result of both the machine and the user working together. It is influenced by factors such as drawing quality, spindle setup, spindle speed, feed rate, and overall cutting strategy. At normal cutting speeds of around 2,000–4,000 mm/min, the machine offers accuracy comparable to much more expensive industrial CNC machines. Repeatability is typically in the range of +/- 0.05 to 0.1 mm.
The machine is primarily built for wood, plastics, and similar materials. It can also machine aluminum, but as with any CNC machine, that requires the right tooling, settings, and operator experience.
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 Extended is supplied with 20mm guide rails and blocks of Hiwin type. Guide rails have an extreme precision that ensures that the shafts do not “play” and are preferable to other solutions.
Guide rails enable extreme speeds and precision. Expensive industrial machines run exclusively with guide rails and there is a good reason for that.
Each block can be lubricated individually with machine grease or spray grease that is sprayed directly onto the rails.
Consumption table (Waste board)
To keep both cost and shipping down, the machine is supplied without a wasteboard as standard. Instead, you get access to ready-made files so you can cut the board yourself in the material of your choice, such as MDF. A common setup is a 12 mm baseboard with a 16–19 mm replaceable wasteboard on top.
For users who want to take things further, we also offer vacuum tables as an optional upgrade. We have also created a video showing how to build your own wasteboard in practice: Build your own Wasteboard
NEMA 23 motors
The machine is equipped with powerful 3A Nema 23 motors, carefully selected to deliver high torque, smooth movement, and reliable performance. All motors are gear-reduced, which provides smoother motion, better control, and increased torque where it matters most.
The drive system is designed to deliver strong performance without requiring three-phase power. Instead, the entire machine is optimized to run on standard 220 V single-phase power, with a power requirement of around 10A. This makes installation much simpler while still giving you a capable machine built for real production work.
How is the machine delivered?
The machine is delivered in a customer-assembled format. To make assembly as simple and reliable as possible, all critical components are supplied pre-assembled by us, including the complete Z-axis assembly, gearboxes, cabling, and electrical box. This means final assembly is relatively straightforward and can normally be completed in a couple of days, depending on your experience and how much time you have available.
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 150-300kg, 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 also 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 cut wood, plastic or aluminum, it is more than enough.
Beveled racks.
This machine comes standard with helical rack and pinion drives. Compared to straight-cut racks, they provide quieter operation, less vibration, and smoother movement throughout the machine’s working area.
The benefits are especially noticeable during rapid movements and jogging, where the machine feels more refined and mechanically calmer. The helical design also creates a smoother transfer of force between the pinion and rack, which helps reduce backlash and gives the machine a more precise overall feel.
Straight racks still work well and can deliver similar cutting results in many applications, but helical rack and pinion takes the overall machine experience to a higher level.
Options for the machine
A range of optional upgrades will be available for this machine for users who want to expand and tailor it to their specific needs.
Planned options include steel reinforcement upgrades, an ATC spindle system (automatic tool changer), and vacuum tables.
Several of these solutions are still under development, but the machine is being designed with future upgrades in mind. This means optional features will be able to be added later without the need to replace the machine or carry out major modifications.
That allows you to start with a strong and capable base machine, then upgrade over time as your needs grow, your production changes, or you want to take the next step with your CNC setup.
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.
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 for our customers 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. 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.
Modular design
Raw Avantic Extended is built around a well-thought-out modular design, making service and repairs both fast and straightforward. All key components are designed to be easily removed and sent back to us when needed, without having to transport the entire machine. All electronics are housed in the X-axis, which can be quickly detached and shipped in for service. In the same way, the Z-axis, motors, electrical box, and other vital parts are also built as modular units, allowing us to carry out repairs or service with minimal downtime for you.
The result is a machine that is easier to maintain, simpler to service, and more cost-effective to own over time.
Built-in motors
All motors on the Avantic Extended are enclosed and protected from dust, impact, and everyday workshop exposure. The motor covers are easy to remove, making service and maintenance quick and straightforward.
The motors can also be removed and sent to us for service if needed.
Each motor is equipped with a 2:1 reduction, which provides smoother motion and, above all, increased torque and stronger overall performance.
Redesigned Z-axis
The Z-axis on the Avantic Extended has been redesigned in steel for increased strength and durability, with protected electronics integrated into the assembly. The entire Z-axis unit is removable, making service and maintenance much easier.
The axis can be detached by removing just a few screws, and the cables can be unplugged quickly and easily. Limit switches are mounted outside the axis assembly, so they remain easy to access and service whenever needed.
We build the machines with other machines
We build our machines using modern fiber laser systems, CNC equipment, and laser welding technology. The parts are cut on fiber lasers and then powder-coated in our own ovens to ensure a durable and consistent finish.
Some components are laser-welded in precision jigs to create a strong, accurate, and repeatable construction.
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
Earlier versions used aluminum for all sheet metal parts, but with this model we are moving to steel in all load-bearing sections. This makes the machine slightly heavier, but also significantly more stable. More mass in the right areas gives the machine a calmer motion, reduces unwanted movement, and creates better conditions for clean and accurate cuts.
The steel parts are laser-cut with high precision and powder-coated for long-term durability in demanding environments. The result is a more robust machine built to handle both heavy use and tougher workshop conditions.
For users who want even more rigidity, a steel reinforcement upgrade kit will also be available as an option, designed to make the machine even more torsionally stiff and stable.

Mach3
Mach3 is control software used to operate the machine. There are several control programs such as UCCNC, Mach4, Linux, and others. We have chosen Mach3 because it is the most widely used control software in the world, which means there are countless features and resources available—often free to download. The machine is compatible with almost all control systems that are not Arduino-based, so you can switch control software whenever you like. Note that we only provide settings for Mach3; if you have some experience, it’s straightforward to configure the machine for any other control software. If you include Mach3 with your order, you also receive our updated user interface (described above).
2.2kW spindle with VFD
If you choose a spindle from us, we integrate it with the rest of the machine electronics for automatic start and stop. The spindle is an air-cooled 2.2 kW unit, and the VFD is connected to the control board so it can be operated directly through the software.
The machine can also be used with a standard 65 mm router. If you plan to do that, let us know and we can recommend the correct mount for the machine.
When purchasing the spindle, we also include a dust shoe at no extra cost. The dust shoe has a 100 mm connection, but it can easily be reduced to smaller sizes such as 50 mm if needed. It helps collect dust efficiently and also protects the user from chips and debris. We also include an 80 mm spindle mount, which is compatible with the ATC spindles we offer as well.
Please note that the instructions and video below are for an older version of the Avantic (2022 version). The machines today look and are slightly different but the instructions are the same. We are working on new videos for the Extended model.
