BenjaminEstberg Report post Posted November 30, 2018 Does anyone have or is familiar with the Boss laser engraver? Specifically laser engraving chrome tanned leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockoboy Report post Posted December 1, 2018 My advice is "Do not engrave, cut or otherwise heat chrome tanned leather". Apparently it releases toxic gases into your workshop, and the gases can also deposit onto the lense of your laser and degrade (etch) the glass. Disclaimer: This is the information I have been given from somebody with a laser, who is in touch with a very knowledgeable technician. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garyo1954 Report post Posted December 23, 2018 Agreed. Chrome tanned leather uses Sulfur Dichromate which produces toxic gases when heated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
