Members Seasoned Warrior Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 Has anyone here used a computerized cutter in their leatherwork. I've been experimenting with my cutter that I use for other maufacturing. My cutter has adjustable cutting depth as well as variable cutting pressure. I have cut leather forms but I was wondering if anyone has tried it for stamping? Quote
Members TomG Posted January 12, 2014 Members Report Posted January 12, 2014 I have a rotary New Hermes Engravograph for plastics that I have experimented with. Does a pretty good job as long as I adjust the cutter to the proper depth, but it's a fixed depth of cut. Places like Disney, Six Flags, etc that sell the engraved, pre-made bracelets and engrave your name on while you wait, use a digital rotary engrave like the M20. With its computer interface, I can cut a wide variety of designs. But again... it's pretty much a fixed cutting depth. I would think a CNC milling machine and a small cutting bit would let you cut almost an design into the leather. Post some pic of your tests! Quote
