Yes, the Atomstack M50 laser head can replace the M40 laser head on an Atomstack P9 laser engraver. The M50 is a newer, more powerful laser module, and it is designed to be compatible with the P9. The M50 offers a higher power output, which can lead to faster cutting and engraving speeds, and potentially more detailed results.

Wood Glue Preferred
If you are a beginner, birch plywood is a commonly recommended option due to its smooth texture, light color, ease of cutting, and excellent finish. However, ensure the glue used in the plywood is laser-safe to avoid difficulties in cutting and charred edges.

Diode lasers, especially those with 10W or more of power, are capable of cutting 1/8" (3mm) plywood. The most popular choice for laser cutting with a diode laser is Baltic birch plywood, as it is known for its clean, smooth finish, and consistent performance. However, there are also other suitable options like basswood and sapele plywood.

Here is a table of suitable 1/8" plywood for a diode laser cutter, including price and the estimated price per square inch delivered. Please note that prices and shipping costs can vary significantly based on the vendor, current promotions, and your location. The prices below are meant to be a general guideline.
