2mm BR Grade Birch Laser Plywood, 400mm x 300mm sheet
This is a high-quality 2mm Birch Plywood sheet (laserply) produced in Finland which is suitable for a wide range of applications and is suitable for laser cutting.
This is BR ‘veneer’ grade Birch Plywood. This is similar to B grade material, with knots that would typically not exceed 7mm to 8mm in diameter. It shows the natural look of the wood and will show natural colour variations. These thinner plywoods are used in specialist applications and tend to have a slightly higher quality feel. The surface of the material is typically of a smoother finish than that of most plywood.
This plywood uses an EN314-2 Class 1 glue which is suitable for interior (dry) conditions. Interior glue is generally considered the preferred option for materials that are to be laser cut. We use interior glues because exterior glues can cause a more obvious ‘burnt’ look on and around the area that is cut.
Features:
- High-quality material (laserply) with a smoother surface than typical plywood.
- Interior grade glue.
- 4 ply plywood.

Tolerances:
The manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of plywood sheets is the stated thickness +/-10%. This means a 2mm plywood sheet could be between 1.8mm and 2.2mm in thickness.

Caution:
- As wood is a natural product there is often a bow or crook to plywood, and in some cases a twist. We have measured curvature in excess of a 30mm rise between the flat centre of the plywood and the corner, therefore if using on a laser cutter these sheets should be strapped/taped to the laser bed before cutting.
- Some sheets of this product may have a material origin ink stamp. As sheets are stored stacked there can be some transfer of the ink from one sheet to another and as a result, the ink mark may appear on both sides. If required the mark can be quickly removed with fine sandpaper.
