    Well, I have had very little luck with improving things. The misting with water definitely helped aesthetically and may have improved cutting moderately. Cutting two and three times helped only very modestly even when I played around with the focus depth Now I am trying to cut from both sides by creating a jig, not ideal but running out of other experiments to do.

    I can't comment on the thickness but the length (2.5") should be good for the job given the power of your machine.
