iKier laser settings: 7 machines, 10 sources, 563 settings

The 7 referenced iKier machines

Every iKier machine is listed with its laser sources: wattage changes everything, a 10 W diode and a 40 W diode do not cut the same plywood. K1 (Diode 24W): 78 settings · K1 12W (Diode 12W): 79 settings · K1 Pro (Diode 24W): 78 settings · K1 Pro Max 48W (Diode 48W, Diode 24W): 84 settings · K1 Pro Max 70W (Diode 35W, Diode 70W): 84 settings · K1 Ultra (Diode 24W): 76 settings · K40 Max (Diode 48W, Diode 24W): 84 settings.

In total 563 settings are published for this brand across 10 laser sources: for each machine, source, material and thickness combination you get power in percent, speed in mm/min, a pass count and whether air assist is needed.

How to use a iKier setting

A setting is a starting point, not an absolute truth: the lens, mirror cleanliness, the exact wood species and humidity all move the result. Run a small test square on an offcut of the same board first, then adjust speed before power — speed is the forgiving one.

If your iKier machine is missing, you can request it: the catalogue watch checks the brand's new releases every week and settings are generated as soon as a model is referenced.
