- I love making leather goods with diode lasers! Let's discuss settings, and if you should start working with leather on your laser engraver. See links below for the pattern, and the Longer Laser I am using.
Here is the pattern for the front pocket wallet, ready for LighBurn! www.etsy.com/listing/15160508...

Chrome tan leather may be just fine (these days), but synthetic leather, leatherette is STILL A NO! I am doing more research on it, but just wanted to pass this along:
Oh, also...braided fishing line (I use 60lb to make bowstrings so I had a ton around) comes in ALL sorts of colors, is very cheap, and is literally Dyneema (kevlar like material). It does NOT break, melts nicely on the ends, and comes in varying thicknesses. It also lays down super nice and has a great, unique look.
WOW, just what I needed, thank you for this tutorial. Started out with leather about a year ago, after a few months I bought a diode laser but not really got a grip on cutting out on it. Probably because it’s hard to find time to learn both leather and laser at the same time 😅 Now it’s late so tomorrow I will download you wallet file and give it a beam in the laser. Thanks again for your great and inspiring videos🙏☺️
I only use plain old veg tan leather for my wallets...they turn out beautifully. If you're having issues with smoke or dirt smudges, you'll need to learn how to appropriately clean it. I usually just use water and a soft cloth.
Great video. Do you happen to have a pattern for those wooden purses? I couldn't find it on your etsy.
is there way to get the leather power guide to test the strength and speed. i just got a creality falcon 2 22w and still testing it out on leather
I would love to know the settings you're using on the Atezr L2 36w machine to cut without leaving soot. I generally use a slightly thicker leather for my wallets, but my L2 just arrived today, and it would give me a great starting point for my testing. Not just cutting but marking too, your logo looks fantastic on those. So far everything I've cut or engraved on my xTool M1 has come out a dirty, sooty mess.
Hi. I bought an Elegoo Phecda 10 W with air assist and try to cut out leather which was 2-3 ounces or 1.6mm max. yet I can not even cut the 1mm cardboard sure I am doing something wrong. I am using the lightburn and checked all parameters and focusing, power speed settings, additionally I am using honeycomb with air assist. did you get a chance to try out the Elegoo Phecda?
Im just getting into lasers. One if the things that drew me to lasers was being sble to use it for leather as well as other materials. How do you clean the leather after you cut it? How do you remove the char and do you burnish the edges when you are done?
Is there anything you can do about the disgusting smell when cutting leather with a laser? I do vent outside but my whole backyard stinks horribly when cutting even just a small piece.
can cutting leather with 5 watt diode laser?
I have a longer ray5 20w laser i ran a material test was unable to cut 2mm veg in one pass even at 600mm/m 100% power.
Will a 10 watt cut leather?
Is it not possible to mask the leather to keep it clean?
Have you worked with pull up leather?
What about marine vinyl with a diode?
I've seen so many different views on whether or not to use a laser on chrome tan leather. But no one ever has evidence to back up the claim to not use lasers in those leathers.
Have you ever tried to wet the leather ?
