Best Depth of Cut for Plywood

@DanoInTx has apparently repeatedly subjected his stock XXL to over 5 times the force/stress as you (7.6 lbf vs. 1.33 lbf), without ill effects. Naturally, since he uses over 4 times as much power to cut 4 times as fast, his approach is going to be a lot noisier, but it does use more of the machine’s capabilities. Note however that, Carbide 3D’s @wmoy seems to recommend maximum forces less than 1.5 lbf, so it’s up to you.
