I’m new to GF Aura just a few weeks. So, I just got a new wood for my Aura a Baltic birch. I’m wanting to try a new wood because the medium basswood I was using was too soft and may have had a MDF core. Which on the Aura you can’t cut because it clogs up the system. So anyways does anyone know what a good setting is to cut through it? It’s a 1/8 3mm 12x12 boards. And there’s no presets for a Baltic birch. I only have 20 pieces and really don’t want to waste wood. Any suggestions please.

When you figure it out it would be great to do a post in Beyond the Manual as I think that might be the most popular non-pg plywood out there.

Once my testing is done I might just do that.

I just used thick basswood plywood on the Aura and it worked! Cutting 1/8" baltic birch.
