80 watt tube struggling with 5mm Birch Ply

Hi,
I'm looking to get a general consensus on machine settings for cutting 5mm birch ply in order to find out if mine is running correctly. I currently have an 80 watt tube with a 2.5" inch "cutting" lens. In order to get guaranteed cuts I'm having to run the machine at 12mms and at 80% power. This is the maximum power I can use this tube at as it maxes out at 28mA. I have seen others claim they can cut up to 10mm thick material with an 80 watt tube but I can't see how that would be possible when I'm struggling to get through 5mm!
Do these settings seem right? Any input welcomed

2.5" lens means you have less intensity on the material, than you could have for example with a 1.5" lens. It sounds okay at 12mm ps at 80% power. You could slow it down, make sure you're focused properly, and you could get get a better lens. Also make sure your mirrors are clean if you've had the laser for a while, dirty lenses mean less intensity on the material.
