Benchtop PRO is an extremely rigid, highly accurate CNC machine designed with a smaller footprint for any shop or garage. The machine features exceptional stiffness and excellent power, making it ideal for working with a host of materials, from plastic to aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
Avid CNC Benchtop PRO CNC machines offer higher speeds, greatly improved ease of assembly and machine tuning, and greater stiffness and spindle capacity than many other CNC machines in its class (see full machine specifications below), featuring:
We offer an extended gantry width option for dual Z-Axis machine configurations. An extended gantry provides the ability to add a second Z-Axis (now or in the future) and maintain access to the full machine work-area for both tools. The

We provide separate options for Z-Axis Travel and Gantry Height. Please note that increasing the gantry height will negatively impact machine stiffness and is not recommended for most applications. For common cutting applications, like sheet goods and harder materials, the standard 8" Ballscrew Z-axis and 8" Gantry Height option is the best choice. Select the 8" / 8" option for this configuration. If you require additional gantry clearance for longer tooling, our 12" Ballscrew Z-axis and standard 8" Gantry Height is the best choice to provide an additional 4" of Z-Axis retraction above the gantry. Similarly, if you require increased Z-Axis Travel, this can also be accomplished with our 12" Ballscrew Z-axis and standard 8" Gantry Height by recessing your workpiece in the table, or off the front of your machine. Select the 12" / 8" option for this configuration. Increasing the gantry height is only recommended for specialty applications with low cutting forces, like cutting foam or similar materials, or other non-cutting applications. Select the 12" / 12" option for this configuration.
The same robust control architecture used in precision 5-axis machining centers is now accessible to the CNC Router, Plasma and Laser market.
