Re: Plywood - talk to us about how you use plywood

We have access to laser cutting via a sponsor (Edgetech). Results are extremely accurate (based on CAD file), but edges are scorched. We've used laser cutting sucessfully for plywood, polypropylene and steel. I love the results when cutting complex shapes and patterns and multiple pieces.

We would only use laser for complex patterns. For most of our plywood cutting, we use saws.
