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.

The cutting of 3mm ply can sometimes be a challenge when you hit a hidden glue spot, Using 100% power and a speed of 7 does take a little longer but i very very rarely now get any stuck parts, I always use these settings and they work great for intricate cuts!
