These 4 settings cover engrave and cut Plywood on the xTool D1 Pro (20W diode laser). Wood results vary by grain direction and moisture content — always run a quick test on scrap before cutting your final piece. Some settings use multiple passes for a cleaner cut — pin or tape your material flat before running to prevent shift between passes.
