Spills21 Report post Posted August 27, 2022 Hi. I Tried to do a search on the forum for any mention of the XTool laser family, but no luck. Does anyone use this brand xTool D1 Pro to cut out their leather? A new model just came out, but I wanted to see if the older 10w model does the job, so I don't have to drop another $500 or so on it. I would love to create sharp inner cuts that I just cannot do cleanly enough with a knife. TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert03241 Report post Posted August 27, 2022 I think you'd be much better off with a co2 laser. these diode laser just not powerful enough to cut heavy leather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikos69 Report post Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I don't know if a diode is powerful enough to cut leather efficiently but you'll definitely generate a LOT of smoke doing the vector cuts along with that strong odor. I cut 6oz veg-tan often on my 50w C02 which is hooked up to a commercial blower. I can't imagine wanting to laser cut leather with a non-enclosed system.
