Woodwop 5.0 Software May 2026

WoodWOP 5.0 is CNC programming software for HOMAG/Weeke wood-processing machines that converts design intent into executable NC programs. This handbook covers installation, interface, programming workflow, advanced features, troubleshooting, and best practices to help woodworkers, programmers, and production managers get productive quickly and reliably.

WoodWOP 5.0 executes sequentially line-by-line (similar to BASIC). Each block is an operation. Example program for a cabinet back panel:

%PM
#W = 600   (Width)
#H = 400   (Height)
#T = 16    (Material thickness)
CONTOUR NAME="RECT" X1=0 Y1=0 X2=#W Y2=#H
POCKET CONTOUR="RECT" Z=-#T+2 TOOL=1
DRILL X=20 Y=20 D=5 DEPTH=-12
DRILL X=#W-20 Y=20 D=5 DEPTH=-12

While WoodWOP 5.0 is now legacy (current version is 7 or 8), its architecture influenced later developments:

Version 5.0 remains in use in many small to mid-size shops due to stability and lower hardware requirements (runs on Windows XP/7). WoodWOP 5

| Software | Platform | Wood-specific | Learning curve | |----------|----------|---------------|----------------| | WoodWOP 5.0 | HOMAG CNC | High | Medium | | AlphaCAM | Any CNC via post | Medium (requires posts) | High | | Cabinet Vision | PC + any CNC | High | Medium-high | | Mozaik | PC + any CNC | High | Medium |

WoodWOP’s advantage is tight integration – no postprocessor, no external simulator.

You define the workpiece dimensions: length (X-axis), width (Y-axis), and thickness (Z-axis). WoodWOP 5.0 allows you to set a "raw part" that is larger than the finished part, with automatic trimming. While WoodWOP 5

WoodWOP 5.0 includes built-in pocketing cycles. Instead of writing hundreds of lines of zig-zag code, use:

G85 (Rectangular pocket)
X0 Y0 I200 J100 (I = length, J = width)
TOOL=3 FEED=5 Z=-5

The software automatically calculates the optimal step-over and lead-in/lead-out moves.
