These 3 settings cover engrave and cut Genuine Leather on the NEJE 3 Max (12W diode laser). Genuine leather tolerates lower power than faux leather; go slowly and increase passes rather than power to avoid scorching. Some settings use multiple passes for a cleaner cut — pin or tape your material flat before running to prevent shift between passes.
