Determining new Cut Settings

I’ve used all of them, they all cut in one pass on your Glowforge. I buy the packs from CraftCloset most often. They’ll cut at a faster speed than Proofgrade, but the end result looks the same.

As for something local you can use for passthrough jobs, HD stores do carry a single type of wood in stores that should be consistent store-to-store and batch-to-batch and cut easily with your laser.

I’ve never bought the 4x8’ sheet. I buy the 12x19" pre-cut packs HD sells online from this same manufacturer. They’re made by a company in my state, so if I order them online, they ship fast (and free) and show up at my house in two days.

But their plywoods have a soy-based MDF core, which is very lightweight, and will laser cut at very high speed in one pass consistently. It engraves well too.
