Thunder Laser Nova 35 — 3mm Basswood Plywood

Very fast raster at 400mm/s. At 60W, 22% gives a warm medium mark without burning. The Nova 35 engraves large flat items extremely quickly — a full 900mm wide plaque in under 5 minutes. Use Thunder Laser's LightBurn profile for correct speed/power calibration.

The Nova 35's 60W tube makes 3mm basswood trivial — 50% power is more than enough. Pushing higher causes unnecessary edge charring. The rigid aluminium frame and Z-table give consistent focus across the full 900×600mm bed. Run a power/speed matrix test on new batches of plywood.

Very fast, very clean. Thunder Laser machines are well-calibrated out of the box.

Professional cabinet machine. Excellent beam quality. Low power needed at 60W for thin wood.
