Q:
Do you offer any advice about power required for laser cutting? I tried cutting some of your 3mm B/BB grade Birch Plywood and had no troubles. With the 3mm BR Grade I had trouble with the pieces not being cut through. I'm very new to laser cutting, a quick look online suggests different machines have different settings so I imagine it's no really possible to provide general advice but thought it worth a quick question. Thanks, Steve.
A:
Hi Steve, Unfortunately you are correct, each machine will cut differently and as the machine is used and the tube becomes used it will become more difficult to cut. Also the material plays a large part as well, as from batch to batch and even sometimes within batches the density of the wood can change. As such a few test cuts should provide you with an ideal cutting setting for the wood. You may also want to look at using poplar laser ply as this is more consistent and less dense than birch so will cut easier and quicker, https://www.kitronik.co.uk/materials/laser-plywood/poplar-laser-plywood.html.
