I tried having the laser cut the holes. I got so many comment about the large holes I went back to using the stitching chisels . I have the laser cut a line where my holes will be then punch out with the chisel. This embeds the thread just a little and helps with wear on the threads. If you are using a Diode laser the holes would be larger. My CO2 Omtech can cut/burn some mighty small holes. Smell on cut leather can be minimized by using "Ozium" spray. Don't breath the spray. When I use it I spray in the shop and leave for 10 or 15 minutes. Makes the shop smell good. lol Quote
Members Bert03241 Posted October 18, 2023 Members Report Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Ferg I have a 60 watt Rabbit co2, sure I could make smaller holes but then you still have the black soot getting the thread and black when sewing. I just find the chisels make much cleaner and neater holes Edited October 18, 2023 by Bert03241 Quote
