Wainlux laser settings: 11 machines, 11 sources, 775 settings

The 11 referenced Wainlux machines

Every Wainlux 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. JL3 (Diode 5.5W): 76 settings · JL7 (Diode 5W): 76 settings · K4 (Diode 3W): 76 settings · K6 (Diode 3W): 78 settings · K8 (Diode 10W): 76 settings · L3 (Diode 10W): 76 settings · L6 (Diode 20W): 76 settings · Z1 (Diode 10W): 76 settings · Z3 (Diode 5W): 76 settings · Z4 (Diode 10W): 77 settings · Z5 (Infrarouge 2W (1064nm)): 12 settings.

In total 775 settings are published for this brand across 11 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 Wainlux 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 Wainlux 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.
