Features & Benefits of the PLH3D-6W-XF+ Cutting and Engraving Laser Head In Details
Cutting and Engraving - PLH3D-6W-XF+ blue laser allows to cut and engrave various materials such as wood, cardboard, rubber, paper, textiles, leather, plastic, balsa, plywood, and many others, as well as mark stainless steel, titanium and low heat conductance subtypes of steel.
Improved Safety - The cutting and engraving laser head is equipped with an “Armed” indication LED, signaling its connection to the power supply and providing alerts for overheating. Additionally, ambient temperature warnings ensure safe operation.
Factory Set Lens - each laser head is shipped with a High-Resolution Triplet lens adjusted to focus at 60.0 mm. This distance is the best-optimized focus distance to start with.
Easy Lens Adjustment: The working (focus) distance can be quickly set or changed with the included lens adjuster, compatible with all M9x0.5 lenses. For certain applications, adjusting the beam for symmetrical engraving is recommended.
Built-in Driver: A short connection between the laser diode and a driver ensures better protection for a diode, possibility of high-frequency current modulation as well as eliminates inductance effects during the switch-on.
No Additional Cooling Required: This lightweight laser requires no additional cooling. The XF+ laser's body acts as a heatsink, allowing it to work constantly for 24 hours, every day.

cuts leather like butter
primarily use this laser cutter for cutting leather, and it works like a dream. The cuts are smooth, and it’s saved me hours of work.
top-notch for engraving wood
this blue laser has been the best tool I’ve used. Super clean lines and no burn marks!
easy to use, great precision
I love how easy this laser was to set up on my CNC machine. The precision on engraving wood is amazing, and I didn’t need much setup time.
Einfach zu installieren
Die Installation des Lasers war super einfach. Ideal für Anfänger wie mich, die gerade erst mit CNC Maschinen starten. Plug & Play funktioniert super :)
very happy with the performance
reat for my CNC machine. I’ve used it for custom engraving wood and couldn’t be happier with the results.
excellent build quality
cuts on leather are super clean
Great to start
Awesome support and product
OK
All that was needed

he plug-and-play feature of this laser was super convenient.
Beeindruckende Leistung
Die blaue Laser-Technologie ist wirklich beeindruckend. Ich nutze ihn für Keramikgravuren und die Präzision ist besser, als ich erwartet hatte.
Impressive Upgrade!
I upgraded my Shapeoko CNC machine with the Universal XF+ Shapeoko Laser, and it has transformed my projects! Highly recommended.
Good

perfect addition to my cnc
perfectly with my CNC machine. I’ve used it for engraving ceramic tiles and the detail is just stunning
great power
use it for cutting wood
Incredible laser!
Been wanting to adapt a laser to our cnc and when stumble upon this one we felt that it would be the perfect fit and boy were we ever right. Simple manual to follow a quick assembly onto our shapeoko and it was off firing within minutes of being installed. Impressed with its consistent performance and a burn that leaves a mark on beautiful wood projects. Magnetic laser dock is a huge factor in buying as well so easy to snap on and off converting from laser work and cnc work. Highly recommend this laser and customer services is also amazing when coming to tracking and info on product.
Highly recommended
Being a first time buyer of a laser this one grabbed my attention and boy did it not disappoint. Digital users Manuel made super easy to adapt the laser to my shapeoko cnc and the magnetic laser doc is so convenient to pull off and attach laser diode so it can be stored aside when using the cnc and nit the laser. As for the 6W laser itself…. The burn is real it’s clean and leaves a great impression when engraving solid woods like we have been. Continuous use over the day with some burns lasting 8-14 minutes each laser performed flawlessly. Also customer service from OPT lasers is second to none with quick administration responses and detailed tracking info when in transit. Highly recommended for the laser enthusiasts and novices.
best of the best
Great customer service, I had a lot of questions and they patiently answered all of them and with High Pressure Nozzle I have a million ideas in my head and can easily realize them.
Perfekt
Die feinen Details kommen perfekt zur Geltung.
