Good as a base material for projecting! Here are some notes for working with Plywood.


Cutting

With a CNC

Use an endmill with downward facing flutes to prevent ripping up the top layer of the plywood. Respect feeds and speeds or the wood could burn or catch fire.

By Hand

When working with sheets, clamp the sheet to another table. Be mindful that the material you are cutting will fall once cut, and is applying forces on the parent sheet before it has been completely cut out.

Drilling Holes

By Hand

Use a drill jig if you can. These can be 3D printed. Drill partway; flip; finish drilling on the other side. This prevents ripping up the bottom layer of the plywood.
