You only need a 30 watt to cut leather, about $10,000 for a nice one from Universal Laser

yeah it doesnt take much I have to run ours at 20% power or less, but still they cost.

well they are out of the reach of personal use i would think. I just happen to work in a place with several lasers. I get to do my own projects on the side for free. I think that a new 3000 to 4000 watt laser would be around 600,000 depending on the options, and the 250-300 watt lasers would be around 220,000 depending on options. Galvo laser engravers might be around 175,000 im not to sure. So yeah they cost. This video is of our 50 watt wood engraver, its not marking leather but it would look the same. There are way better machines for doing this though. If you found a place similar to where I work at and you provided your own artwork and dimensions Im sure that there would be no charge for programming just laser time and maybe materials.

Neat video. I have never seen how the laser worked except on human surgery to correct vision. It looks like I'll have to find a place here locally that does the sort of work that you do. The price range is a little out of what I can currently afford, and I would have to re-wire the house to handle that sort of wattage. It's surprising what all lasers can do and the technology has come a long way. Keep the video's and pictures coming.

Still out of my price range. What kind of facility would I have to look for locally to find someone who does laser work?

I guess just google custom laser shop and see what you come up with. I would be happy to see what you have and get it programmed up and see what we could come up with. I dont think it would be too expensive. Its all based on speed the faster we can cut the cheaper the part. At the end of the day though its worth it if you have like 1000 holes you need punched. Lasers love repetition.
