Basswood

Important safety notice

Settings are starting points — always run a test cut on scrap before your final piece. Follow your manufacturer's guidance, wear eye protection, and ensure proper ventilation.

Cutting 2 mm basswood plywood on an xTool P2S 55W, honeycomb panel, air assist on. 50% at 30 mm/s went cleanly through in one pass on bookmarks with fine cut-out details. Edges come out light brown with very little charring. Run a 20 mm test square first, as plywood varies between sheets.

Same material on xTool P2S. Engrave stays the same regardless of thickness; cut changes with thickness.
