Design notes

Please read THINGS YOU MUST KNOW FOR CNC ROUTING before starting your CNC design. There is a lot of important info in there that you need to know to create correctly formatted design files.

This plywood has a thickness tolerance of +/-15% of the material thickness. The thickness is usually 1/32" to 1/16" less than the nominal thickness.

This plywood has a smooth face. Can have a tendency to bow or cup if not held flat, especially with the thinner sheets.

Some core voids and/or knots may be exposed during machining and are not considered defects. May have color variations and/or knots on occasion, especially on the back face. Strong and lightweight. Paints well.

Typical uses

Great for shelving, cabinets, fixtures, boxes, prototyping; often used with a solid wood strip, molding or edgebanding to cover the edges

Adhesives, joints & fastenings

Takes fasteners well but pre-drilling is recommended. Glues well with standard woodworking glues, hot melt or construction adhesive.
