I bought some 1/8" Baltic Birch ply at a craft store. On my epilog 35w 24tt, I used 100% power and 12% speed. I had to run it 2 times, and there were still spots that didn't get all the way through... is this normal? I would have thought that it'd cut better than that. It says in the manual that it may have trouble with some plywoods, so to use the better wood, which is what I thought I got.
When I do a second engraving pass, should I refocus a little lower than the first pass? I've just been using autofocus so far.
I have a bunch of scroll saw patterns that I want to do, but now I'm not so sure I can even do it. What kinds of wood would be best for this. (I have some acrylic ordered, but it won't look as good as wood for some of the patterns I want to do)
Thanks for any tips or tricks.
