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 plywoods.

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.

Contents:

  • 1 x 2mm BR Grade Birch Laser Plywood (laserply), 600mm x 400mm Sheet.

Dimensions:

  • Length: 600mm.
  • Width: 400mm.
  • Height: 2mm.

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.

Resources:

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.

    Asked by Ian May on August 10, 2018 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Ian, Unfortunately our plywood sheets don't have a coloured finish on them. You may however be able to stain or paint the material to achieve the desired look, we haven't tried this however. Also we are only based in Nottingham, as the goods can be picked up from us here or the goods can be delivered.

    Asked by Dasol An on April 13, 2018 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Dasol, After checking with the supplier, they have advised that the Birch has a density of approx. 700-720kg/m3. However it should be noted that there will be some variation between batches due to the nature of the product. The figure given should be used as an estimation figure.

    Asked by Fraser Wilson on January 11, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin The flexibility of the board is roughly the same across the width, however this will go against the grain and as such will affect the flexibility.
