Picked up a couple of good tips, like the fill individually to save time on the holes. Thanks for that. I’ve been using the framing feature in lightburn to replicate the black outline trick you showed.

Great! I love to hear that. I love the black outline. It give you a chance to frame without hitting the frame button over and over etc... Thanks again!

Always nice to hear Yaneden! It is always nice to have the masking tape around the house. If you plan on engraving bamboo cutting boards I find it helps a great deal. As far as detailed settings of lightburn go check out "lahobbyguys" channel. I found his lightburn tutorials are very helpful. Thank you!

hi, sir 5 watt diode laser can cut 1mm leather?

@baronleathercraft 2 ай бұрын

1mm leather is not that thick I would say that just about any 5watt laser should be able to handle the job. For example, I review the ATOMSTACK P7 M40 laser ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ich0dZRyxLy5qqM.html ) and it was able to handle 7 oz leather which is 2.78mm thick. The nice thing about 5 watt lasers is that they engrave in great detail. The more powerful the laser the faster it will cut but you loose some of the detail in detail in engraving. You might want to watch this video as well. ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7iZqc2Y2tLDdoU.html ) Thank you for your question.

Sure thing! If you are going to get one, watch many reviews and compare the specs. If you can go for a 10watt because they will cut better and the engraving quality is still very detailed. Hope this helps. :) @@Hopatzful
