Great advice.
I spent a little time reading past posts about balsa wood and basswood. Some seemed to feel that basswood is too thick/dense, but others felt it could be cut and had cut it on lesser machines (even tho they needed an exacto knife to pull the final cuts apart). I have absolutely no experience cutting basswood but guess that, like other mediums, there might be some that cut better than others based on how it is cut etc. The advice of cutting slow is excellent and I would do the same thing. I have only cut wood paper so I am no help at all.
I know you will figure it out and would love to hear what worked when you get to that point. Just be sure you use the 60 degree plus blade.
