I have a tiny laser for engraving. 3000mw. It won't cut leather but I didn't buy it for that. I bought it (under $200) for personalizations and so far it does a good job. Haven't had it too long so I'll see how long it lasts.

Members VYO Posted January 7, 2019 Members Report Posted January 7, 2019 I have a little of my work in my profile header here at LW. My first laser work is attached. My laser work is not near as intricate as your bag. Just personalizations. I am thinking about making a gallery here but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Contributing Member LatigoAmigo Posted January 7, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted January 7, 2019 Very nice. Do you get much personalization business? Quote
Members VYO Posted January 8, 2019 Members Report Posted January 8, 2019 I do get a bit of it. So far the key fobs and mouse pads mostly but I am thinking of offering personalizations on wallets and other things I make. Seems to be a popular option. The mousepads I personalized were before I got the laser and since those were heavily waxed CXL I doubt laser would work well. I am looking for some nice mousepad leather that isn't CXL but I haven't found anything I like yet in the 10 oz I use for those.

Members dikman Posted January 8, 2019 Members Report Posted January 8, 2019 VYO, that is simple but surprisingly effective. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members VYO Posted January 8, 2019 Members Report Posted January 8, 2019 dikman, It's a pretty simple machine, simple software, and works within 10 minutes out of the box as well as inexpensive by comparison to other models. It's only about 6 x 6 outside dimensions and prints about 3 x 3 inches max. Has a fan for cooling and takes on average about 2 minutes per personalization.

Members Jason046 Posted February 1, 2019 Members Report Posted February 1, 2019 Was wondering if anyone on here engraved on veg tan leather. We do and afterwards we rinse it off with water and a soft tooth brush. Is there a better way? Haven't found a tape that dosent scuff the veg tan leather Quote
Members VYO Posted February 1, 2019 Members Report Posted February 1, 2019 I engrave on veg tan without having to clean up with the small laser engraver I have. Is there a way to lessen the power used for engraving with your engraver? Mine is 3000mW and I don't have to do anything after engraving.
