Production guidance

This LEATHER (Veg-Tan) - Diode Engrave leather record pairs 55% power with 130 mm/s on Diode 450nm 10W, using 1 pass, machine default frequency, 0.08 mm hatch spacing, and no recorded pulse-width override. Compare every listed field with the source, lens, focus method, and material finish on your machine before transferring the recipe.

1. 1. Veg-tan leather only. Never laser PVC/synthetic - toxic fumes. Source: xlaserlab.com & stylecnc.com (2024).
2. 2. Treat this as an unverified baseline, not a production preset. A VERIFIED Parameters Library record requires three independent community vouches; an attached proof-burn image provides additional evidence.
3. 3. Veg-tan and chrome-tan react differently and both scorch easily. Keep air assist on, mask the surrounding area, and expect to drop power before you raise speed.
4. 4. Diode sources need slower speeds and more passes than fiber or CO2 for the same result, and a spot that is genuinely in focus matters more than raw wattage.
5. 5. Change one variable at a time — power, then speed, then frequency — so you can attribute the improvement when you find it.
6. 6. Record the successful result in the Parameters Library so the next production run is repeatable.

The bundled note for this LEATHER (Veg-Tan) - Diode Engrave recipe is: “Veg-tan leather only. Never laser PVC/synthetic - toxic fumes. Source: xlaserlab.com & stylecnc.com (2024).” The source data was reviewed 2026-08-09; no independent vouch or proof-burn image is attached. Label the scrap test with the adjusted values and keep the accepted result with the production job.
