Looking to cut some 12 mm Plywood on a Denford 6600. There is no settings for plywood, though standard settings for MDF/Hardwood. Any advice on settings/speed/Depth of cut for Plywood much appreciated.

Just pick hardwood/mdf.
You can always adjust the Feedrate override (and possibly the Spindle override) if it's going too fast or too slow and burning
Depth of cut probably OK as well.
Use a bit of trial and error and create a new material if you find anything needs altering a lot.

Speeds and feeds dont really come into play with ply, there is very little resistance from it, we cut alot of ply at 6000rpm and 4000 m/min 3mm depth of cut. You best source of a good cut is to use a down cut tool, ie instead of a normal end mill the flutes rotate upward, with a down cutter the flute rotates downwards. It will give less chipping on the edge of the wood.
