Laser Cutting Leather on a Diode Laser for the first. time. ever.

[moraruteodor]

what is the smallest needed power of a laser to cut leather?

[justgabevr]

Do you have any recommendations for good laser cutters to start out with?

I just bought the Creality Falcon 2 22W diode laser cutter and engraver. Any suggestions on the cheapest leather to buy until I get my settings dialed in?

What were your setting for your leather I just want to engrave first

Looks cool, sounds like my neighbors will report the smell though 😂

[peterheinzo]

you should always lasercut in an enclosure that vents outside and most importantly blocks the laser beam.

Try wetting the leather beforehand to keep down the smell
