Good stuff there thank you. Anyone actually use our lasers to cut the leather?

@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y@Alex_Krause ​ have. I’m on my way

Be sure to have your exhaust fan on full blast :slight_smile:

does the leather cut clean? or do you need to add tape or something around the leather cut area?

I almost exclusively use my K40 for leather (with the exception of plywood for testing things). As you mention @Bob_Damato , the smell is quite horrible for most leather/suede. As per a suggestion from I believe it was @Alex_Krause in the past, I tested placing cut suede (which smelled horrible) in a container with newspaper & bicarbonate of soda. Forgot about it & ended up leaving there for about a week & the smell had mostly subsided/been absorbed?

@Bill_Keeter The leather most definitely does not cut cleanly. You will always have a burned edge on your cut, but that can be sanded back a little & then finished as per usual leather finishing (burnishing + edge-kote or beeswax). The thinner the leather, the better the edge will be however (e.g. my 1-1.5mm thick kangaroo hide cuts beautifully with only the smallest darkening of the edges, which I actually leave because it looks nice). I would recommend using a low-tack painter’s tape for engraving though, to prevent any sooty stains which can get into the leather around the engrave.
