Cutting bamboo plywood

Anyone have any suggestions for settings to cut through 1/8" and 1/4" bamboo plywood?

Lots and lots of testing, is my suggestion. I had some 1/4" bamboo that I was never able to cut no matter how slow or how many passes. Bamboo engraves pretty well, but the bamboo that I have had does not cut well at all with a laser.

I suggest a scroll saw.

Agreed - engraves really well, but doesn’t cut well if at all.

I had some from Trotec and it was hit and miss with proofgrade cherry plywood settings, most areas it cut through perfectly and some it left some strands. I think it looks nice but is rather annoying to laser!
