Yes sir !

 

So the capacity of its extremely light duty, its purely an engraving laser.

I'm not saying there isn't a possibility for you to cut at all - maybe enough passes could..., but if you decide to cut with a laser later on you'd want a CO2 laser. 

The power output of this laser is 5.5-6W.

Oh for sure after I bought this one and kind of learned the software and things, I use Lightburn I decided someday I will have to invest in a larger and more able laser, This one does really well for the applications I needed it for, as I would literally just set it on a wood panel I needed engraved, again just my logo, and let it rip, as Most of my wood business is cabinets and larger panels I needed something that was easy to move and wasn't limited on the size, plus cheap, I got it on a deal for 250 at the time.  That 5 0z vegtan cut extremely nice actually with once pass at 1000 @ 95.  Not saying this laser is the best but I also cut through 1/4 inch maple with 4 passes just to see what it could do, charring was kind of rough though lol.  IF you don't mind me asking what laser are you using?

Well... not only for leather.

I regularly cut 3/4 or 1/2" plywood for boxes and use a box joint. Here's a photo of the first one we did.  We've improved it since. 


Been playing around with making custom drawers and boxes for our shop and other shops as we grow. People love custom crates and bins.

If your mostly going to engrave and cut leather you really don't want anything over 80 watts in a co2. Over 80 watts dialing down the power to engrave becomes more difficult, especially engraving leather. you don't need a lot of power. and an 80 watt will cut most all your leather that you would be using.I have a 60 watt and and it does every thing I need with leather and cut 1/4" plywood no problem

I can engrave at 10.8% power. I've successfully engraved as thin as 2 oz without any problem.

Very functional and it fits your needs so it's a great wallet.  I like the edges as well.
