Hi. I just stumbled on your channel. PLEASE tell me you can help me with getting my PDF patterns I bought on Etsy configured in a format that Cricut can cut. I am at my wits end. I am willing to pay of course, if it´s a service that you offer.

If possible can you make a video or give some instructions for how you took the pattern from pdf to the cut in this video?

Hi! Very interesting technique! Do you wet the leather before cutting? Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for sharing this. How well does the blade hold it's edge during leather cutting? I cut leather by hand and with a laser now, but this looks interesting.

Hello. Can it cut the leather hole too? Like 1 mm hole for stitching?

A nice alternative to a laser cutter. How often do you have to replace the cutting blade? I am sure you cannot hone them (too small) to keep them sharp.

I would love to use a laser cutter on leather. its the next machine to get on my list. Replacing the blades depends on the size of the project however the blades are quite cheap. 100 cost only £10 from AliExpress. Regarding honing the blades, I scrunch some aluminium foil into a small ball and poke the ball around 30-50 times to clean/hone the blade.

Those cuts look great. Can you provide a link to the replacement blades on AliExpress? Not finding a cheap batch of 100...

I have an Explore Air 2. From what I’ve been researching I’ve seen that the leather cutting blade isn’t compatible with my model. I’ve also seen people cutting leather with the Explore Air 2. If it is compatible where could I find the right blade?
@burnishededgeleather60432 жыл бұрын
The knife blade isn't compatible with the explorer air 2, however I use a deep point blade with 3 passes to ensure 3-4oz leather is cut properly. Thinner leather only needs 1-2 passes. I got the housing for my deep point blade from hobby craft. and the deep point blades from amazon or AliExpress. Here is the link the deep point housing blade www.hobbycraft.co.uk/cricut-deep-point-housing-and-blade/601382-1000

Wow, now I noticed you used the cricut air 2😳💪🏼💪🏼

I think if you use the knife cutting tool maybe you don’t have to do many cuts over and over. Also if you put transfer tape (cricut or other brand) on the mat first and then put the leather on top of the transfer tape sticky side you save your mat from getting dirty with the leather skin rough side💪🏼

The knife cutting tool isn't available for the explore air 2. I think the knife tool is only available with the cricut maker
