About 3mm Walnut Plywood Settings for the xTool F1

The xTool F1 cuts 3mm Walnut Plywood cleanly at 40 mm/s with 80% power. Always test on a scrap piece first — every machine is slightly different, and variables like tube age, lens condition, and material batch can shift results.

For 3mm Walnut Plywood, the key variables to dial in are speed and power. If the laser isn't cutting through cleanly, slow down or add a pass before pushing power higher — excessive power causes charring and wider kerfs. Air assist is highly recommended for wood and organic materials to clear smoke and protect the lens.
