Dear Chris,
The STEPCRAFT Laser Engraving Head DJ445 3 Watt can cut 1/8"³ (3mm) Balsa wood and similar thin materials, with some users reporting success up to 6mm Baltic Birch, though success varies with technique, focus, air assist, and material type. Denser woods like MDF or thick plastics are not suitable for this 3W diode laser, which is designed for lighter-duty engraving and thin material cutting.
Thanks,
Kevin
