This is such a good material, combining the strength of birch with the easy laser cutting of poplar. Hobarts consistently deliver quickly and great quality! Thanks! :D
Excellent product, even better than expected. Smooth, clean, hardly any knots. Very happy.

Thank you for your comments, much appreciated !
Except for the fact that took me a week to try and get it straight, the final result was really nice
I'm a beginner to the laser engraving game and to find a website/company that covers a lot of different laserable materials and at great prices is a godsend. Well done to the company for being excellent with their website and their timely deliveries. 10/10
Arrived quickly, good quality, and it cut well on my laser.
Cuts beautifully. Used some linseed oil and beeswax to bring out the grain and give it a slight sheen, looks stunning! Highly recommend.
The quality of the wood (birch ply, 3mm) was excellent and service (communication, dispatch, delivery, invoicing) was superb. Very happy, will definitely use Hobarts again
They all product is good, but unfortunately the delivery is really slow. I waited almost 3 weeks for my order. For the businesses not sure is worth it, if suddenly need order again, I need find another supplier, who can deliver within 5 days at least.
I have a handmade business online and this company was the cheapest and fasted delivery for my materials

Review given here is based on using a laser to cut out designs.
Material has a slight texture on one side and smooth on the other. Using a laser I tested cutting on the textured side. It takes a while to find the right speed/power settings to cut smoothly. In the first instance I just created a square 10mm wide and played with the settings until it cut through cleanly. If the settings are not right for your particular laser, the material will rebind on the cut as it melts. On doing more intricate cuts with cuts almost 1mm apart, the original settings were too high and had to be dialled down to prevent warping and melting. Once the settings were satisfactory, I achieved quite good results. I will use this material to create window frames for models for my personal use.
Recommend for laser cutting but ensure you get your settings right.
Sample of 3.0mm sanded MDF was accurate to stated thickness. Surface texture was quite visible unlike the harder 2.0mm MDF.
After applying Rustins MDF sealer the surface fibres were quite prominent and would require sanding smooth and further applications of sealer if a smooth finish is required. As I mainly use the very smooth and hard 2.0mm MDF for my laser cut kits, and a smaller amount of 3.0mm it should be satisfactory for most applications.
3.2mm (1/8") MDF has a smoother unsanded finish if thickness isn't critical as it is for my kit designs.
Excellent quality cuts very well.
Great quality laser board delivered well packed and on time. Great business to deal with
