Review on πŸ“¦ Package of 12 3MM Baltic Birch Plywood Sheets - B/BB Grade, Ideal for Arts, Crafts, School & DIY Projects, Drawing, Painting, Wood Engraving, Burning & Laser Projects by Tara Ford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks good, but not cropped and deformed!

I bought two packs (6 each) of these plywood sheets to use in my laser cutter. It looks nice and has a good finish, but unfortunately someone who cuts material at Anderson plywood has to go to an optician because it was about 1/4 inch shorter in both sizes (so 11.75" x 23.75") ). The sheets were even, others were seriously warped and not in one plane but in two, meaning that laser cutters only have such latitude in depth of cut to make it even - a true PITA - and some of these sheets are warped by more than 1/. 4" means I didn't get a perfect cut. I spent a good hour steaming and bending it to get it back into shape with mixed results, but when combined with the fact that both Packs were cut smaller than stated I can only give 2 stars Unless they correct their sizing and general quality control I will not be buying from them again.

Pros
  • Hard wearing: The thick plies of this Baltic Birch plywood are designed to be easily cut with saws and laser cutters, making it the ideal plywood for all woodwork.
Cons
  • Base required

Not very flat, but very smooth.
