The 14 referenced Universal Laser Systems machines

How to use a Universal Laser Systems 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 Universal Laser Systems 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.
