Creality Falcon2 Pro settings for Baltic birch plywood
To engrave Baltic birch plywood on the Creality Falcon2 Pro (22W module), start at 35% power, 6000 mm/min, 1 pass. To cut 3 mm Baltic birch plywood, use 100% power at 450 mm/min for 1 pass with air assist on. These come from the manufacturer's published table; run a test grid before a real job.
Starting points, not gospel. Rows marked “starting point” are either copied from the manufacturer’s published table (linked below) or are our editorial estimates from typical diode results. Neither has been bench-tested by us yet. Run a small power/speed test grid on your own sheet before a real job — batch, humidity and focus all shift the result.

How to use this chart
- Focus first. Set focus on the material surface with the brand's focus tool or the fixed-focus spacer. A 0.5 mm error halves cutting ability.
- Run a test grid. A 5×5 grid of power (20–100%) against speed (cut: 100–1000 mm/min; engrave: 1000–6000 mm/min) on your actual sheet takes ten minutes and saves a ruined blank.
- Add passes before power. If a cut doesn't release, add a pass. Extra power at low speed just chars edges.
- Air assist on for cuts. It clears smoke from the kerf and keeps the lens clean; it is usually off or low for engraving to avoid blowing dust into fine detail.
