Sample was cut through all 3 layers completely and consistent at speed 250mm/sec, however with a smaller focus lens it is possible to increase speed up to ~300mm/sec. Two protection films (clear and green) produce a great amount of smoke and residue while cutting, which contaminates sample very strong. No cleaning was performed on the sample after cutting.
