Genuine Leathercut

Speed25 mm/sPower80%Passes1

★★★★★

Cuts through 2mm veg-tan leather in one pass. Leather fumes smell strongly and are unpleasant — ensure your exhaust fan is running at full capacity. The Glowforge's sealed design helps but ventilate the room well after the job.

★★★★★

Rich dark brown mark at 25%. Leather is easy to overpower with a 45W tube — start at 20% and increase in 3% steps. Vegetable-tanned leather gives deeper, more consistent contrast than chrome-tanned. Remove protective coating or oils from the surface before engraving.

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
