Cutting with a ray 5

I have a longer ray 5 10w. I was trying to cut out an ornament btw I am new to this. I set my setting to to 300mm/m and 90 power. I’m using birch 1/8 plywood and it will not burn through in the first try. I have to run it twice and when doing so the small piece burn off? Any suggestions

That single-pass stuff only works in videos.

For 1/8" (2.8mm) Baltic Birch…
10w laser
800mm/m
85% power
5 passes (3 for 1.8mm ply)
Cuts through every time without scorching stuff. Most of the time, 4 passes will do, but when it does not, it is called scrap.

Thanks I will try this!!
