Thank you. cutting 3 layers of 1/8" Baltic Birch (BB) is just as easy as cutting just one piece. It's under a half inch thick. lawson56 1 Quote

It's under a half inch thick. I think it's actually easier. I like cutting at least 2 layers, if not more, because the added resistance of the extra thickness slows the cut and provides more control. 1/8" doesn't offer much resistance to the blade, such that even very small blades can be hard to control, especially with aggressively cutting saws. When cutting very fine detail, control is critical, more so than speed, IMHO. Clayton717 1 Quote
