Higher wattage typically means faster cutting and the ability to cut thicker material in fewer passes. The NEJE 3 Max (12W) cuts thicker material in single passes and engraves at higher speeds than the NEJE Max 4 E40 (11W). For raster engraving the difference is smaller because surface engraving is limited by mechanical scan speed.
