After decades of supremacy of the Titanium:Sapphire technology, Ytterbium-based high-order harmonic sources are emerging as a promising alternative for experiments requiring high flux of ultrashort extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation. In this article we describe a versatile experimental setup delivering XUV photons in the 10-50 eV range. The use of cascaded high-order harmonic generation enables us to reach 1.9 mW of average power at 18 eV. Several spectral selection schemes are presented, to isolate a single high-harmonic or a group of them. In the perspective of circular dichroism experiments, we produce highly elliptical XUV radiation using resonant elliptical high-harmonic generation, and circularly polarized XUV by bichromatic bicircular high-harmonic generation. As an illustration of the capacities of the beamline, we focus the XUV beam in a coincidence electron-ion imaging spectrometer, where we measure the photoelectron momentum angular distributions of xenon monomers and dimers.
