Equivalent to ~10mm/s. From LightBurn forum (forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/leather-engraving-and-cutting/98726). User reports 10mm/s at 45% on 50W OMTech — scale slightly for 80W by increasing speed to 12–14mm/s (720–840mm/min) at same power. Use 1 pass. Moderate air assist to avoid scorching edges. Thicker leather (4–5mm) may need 2 passes.

💨 Air Assist

Equivalent to ~150mm/s. From LightBurn forum (forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/leather-settings-pictures-attached/31830) and OMTech leather guide (omtech.com/blogs/tips/best-laser-engraving-leather-settings). DPI: 300 LPI. Low power prevents burning through. Vegetable-tanned leather gives best results. Chrome-tanned leather releases toxic fumes — confirm leather type before use. Light air assist only (5–8 PSI).

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

"I was struggling with lining up my NFC business cards. I was able to not only line them up much better but also do multiple cards at once — making that job so much easier."

"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."
