Variables (e.g., L for length, W for width, T for thickness) replace fixed numerical values. Changing the master dimensions automatically scales all associated machining steps.
Standard operations like drilling vertical holes, routing pockets, and grooving use clear, recognizable icons.

Aligning all operations using the same spindle or drill block to minimize automatic tool changer (ATC) cycles. woodwop 5.0 software
Syncs directly with the Homag tool changer database to automatically calculate feed rates, rotation speeds, and tool approaches.
WoodWOP 5.0 was designed for the Windows environment of the early 2000s and is primarily compatible with CNC machines. WOOD TEC PEDIA Operating Systems : Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000, and XP. Minimum RAM Disk Space : Approximately 50 MB of free hard disk space. File Formats : Uses the format for program files; can import files for CAD geometry via optional interfaces. Legacy & Compatibility
Changing global variables automatically updates all associated machining paths.
Coordinates the integrated grooving saw on HOMAG/WEEKE processing centers. Variables (e
: It utilizes standard macros for operations like drilling, sawing, and routing. Parameters are entered directly into the software, and the corresponding machine code is generated automatically. woodWOP Wizard
Instead of writing lines of code, woodWOP 5.0 uses —pre-defined templates for common tasks. These include:
To ensure smooth operation, WoodWOP 5.0 software requires a computer with the following specifications:
Clamping view enhancements to prevent physical tool-pod collisions. Better native integration with ERP/MES production software. remains a legendary milestone in the evolution of
⚠️ Always dry‑run new programs with and watch first operation.
At the heart of WoodWOP 5.0 is the .mpr (Machine Program Read) file format. This text-based proprietary format records all geometric data, processing parameters, and variables.
While woodWOP 5.0 is highly capable for standard 2.5D machining (drilling, pocketing, basic routing), HOMAG has since released newer versions up to woodWOP 8.x. Upgrading provides several modern advantages: True 3D surface modeling and 5-axis simultaneous machining.
