I've used his wood before and it was of good quality.

[Russ D Wood]

Well so far I have been through all of the focus, leveling, distance, clean up steps as listed in my manual. I can cut everthing BUT ply so it is still my assumption that it is my stash of ply scraps that MUST have the wrong glue for laser cutting. The top layer of wood is awesome then nothing cuts below the top layer (first glue layer). If I stick in a 1/4 inch piece of balsa (NO GLUE) it cuts cleanly and has no issues. I have ordered some laser cuttable ply from a supplier that states, that I SHOULD have NO problems with his stuff. So we shall see if its me or the machine. Everything else works exactly as it shows in the manual. The machine is actually a pretty neat little box and I'm having fun inspite of the cutting issues. Your comments and suggestions have all been taken seriously and I do appreciate you trying to help, thanks. Russ
