These 2 settings cover engrave and cut Leather on the xTool D1 Pro (20W 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.

Frequently asked questions
What speed should I use to engrave Leather on the xTool D1 Pro?
The top-rated community setting uses 3500 mm/min at 28% power. Suede is delicate — very easy to over-burn. Start lower than you think. Result depends heavily on suede quality and thickness. Always test.
How many passes does the xTool D1 Pro need to cut Leather?
Settings here range from 1 to 2 passes. Multiple passes give a cleaner edge but increase the risk of material shift — always pin or tape your material flat before running.
Do I need air assist for Leather on the xTool D1 Pro?
Yes — 1 of the 2 settings here specify air assist on. It clears smoke and debris from the cut line, improves edge quality, and reduces fire risk especially during cutting.
What DPI should I use to engrave Leather on the xTool D1 Pro?
Settings here use 254 DPI. For photographic detail or fine artwork, consider testing at higher DPI, but expect longer run times.
