I used 1/4" birch plywood to cut out the animals. The settings were 75%power and 10mm/s at 2 passes I had been hopeing that the lower power an speed would prevent the scorching that has occured when at full power but it didn't cut cleanly through. I did a 3rd pass but at 4mm/s which did cut through.
