Frequently asked questions
What speed should I use to engrave Genuine Leather (Veg-Tan, ~3mm) on the Boss LS-1630?
The top-rated community setting uses 12000 mm/min at 22% power. Equivalent to ~200mm/s. Derived from LightBurn forum leather threads and Monport 100W leather engrave guide (monportlaser.com). Higher wattage machine allows faster speed at similar power vs 80W. DPI: 300 LPI. Low power critical — leather burns easily. Test at 15% power first and increase until desired depth achieved.
