A quick review of this laser engraver/cutter. My honest opinion: it's a going to be a great addition to my workbench. I have so many ideas. . . . not just for leather, but also for my scale models. Yes, these weighted coasters may be an example of making something simple complicated, but that's sorta the point, right? Make sure to watch to the end!
Disclosure: Creality sent me this laser for free in exchange for this video. However, you're sure to see more of this machine in the future.

@amoskoff2381 Год назад

Used to work in a 3D printing/laser cutting shop. We didn’t work with leather often but with thick pieces of most other materials, multiple faster passes almost always got better results than trying to blast through in one go

I know that now...

A year behind but in my experience it's the opposite lol slow and just strong enough is always my go to, 2nd passes double the opportunity of error

@CaulderLeather Год назад

People, especially the old timers, really underestimate the usefulness of even a smaller laser like this in leather craft. I've had mine for almost a year and I cut nearly everything on it now, mind you mine is a 60W CO2 laser with a 20x28 working area, but even something like this creality is great for cutting and personalizing. I've increased my production at least 5 fold by getting a laser. Are they perfect, no, but they are phenomenal. For me it has been a cricket press killer.

@CaulderLeather Год назад

Also, AMAZING coasters bub!

@mattiouvinen9138 Месяц назад

What speed/power settings did you use for cutting and engraving?

@terrynoles8539 Год назад

A couple of quick tips for you to help you get the most out of your laser with leather.. .First, wet the leather...not damp, like casing for tooling...WET it. It will cut and engrave better, without burning as much on the edges. It also make a whole lot less smoke and stink. Second, ONLY use air assist with cutting. Turn it off for engraving. You'll get MUCH cleaner results. I enjoy your videos, and am not downing your work, by any means. These are just a couple of things I have learned, when cutting patterns on my laser.

@jeffcampsall5435 Год назад

So how do you remove the laser burn marks on the cut edges? Do they wash off ? Did you sand them off ?

@kendpruitt Год назад

@davidbradley9366 Год назад

@roadagent although you now have the Falcon2, would you still recommend the Falcon 1 for engraving leather and cutting out patterns? I watched your video on the Falcon 2 comparing it to the Falcon 1, but the Falcon 1 is more in my price range.

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

You'll be fine with the 10W machine. Just slow down the laser or double up on the passes in your Lightburn settings.

@clementinedenel3213 Год назад

Thank you for your video , i find it very helpful ! I was looking for a laser cutting machine especially for leather work (cutting and engraving keychain, for now i do all the work by hand and don't have any cutting die) Since you had this creality, did you use it a lot ? Would you say 10W is enough to work with leather ?

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

I've been using it to cut the heavy leather I use for holsters and other bits. You'll see it in the videos I've posted since this one. It takes a few passes, but definitely works. That being said, I've been sent the newest model; the "Falcon 2". It's a 20W. I'll be comparing the two in an upcoming video. Make sure to subscribe to get the notification when it drops!

@ristorinne5817 Год назад

Nice video and nice toy. I was hoping that you could use this instead of swivel knife or can you adjust the depth for cutting?

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

I believe you can. It takes adjusting the laser's power, speed, and focus.

@jargin911 Год назад

I am a bigfan of your work style and workflow. Out of your resin printer, fdm printer, and laser printer/cutter. What do you think you use the most with your leathercraft? If you only could use one, which one would you choose? cheers 👍

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

Thanks! I'd have a hard time letting go of the others. But I would have to say the laser. It has more versatility in leatherwork than the printers.

Haven't considered that actually. This was just a set I made for personal use. I probably wouldn't be able to price them low enough to sell economically. There's just too much work that goes into them . . . for coasters anyway.

How do you typically clean up the burned edges? Sanding and burnishing?

@RoadAgentLeather Час назад

Damp sponge. Yes; the normal process of sanding and burnishing takes care of it as well.

@fakumadda1632 Год назад

Man, that's a lot of work just for a coaster.

@tfildaed Год назад

Very interesting. Quite a bit more waste with the laser or is that just for the demonstration?

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

yeah, I was just using scrap pieces. You can get it down to as much waste as cutting by hand if you're careful.

@TrebleForTheBass Год назад

Not that it matters either way with a coaster, but why did you decide this time not to channel out the leather for the stitching like you normally do on holsters?

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

This leather is pretty thin. Plus, I didn't really see the need for a stitch groove, which I often use more as a guide to keep the stitches straight, since I was using the sewing machine's edge guide to pre-punch the holes.

@TrebleForTheBass Год назад

@@RoadAgentLeather that sounds right - I was just thinking about it more as far as getting the stitches out of the way so they don’t wear out with all of the cups sliding across them

@fortyoneshades 8 месяцев назад

Very nice! Could have saved yourself some time by having the laser cut the stitching holes as well.

@RoadAgentLeather 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, I didn't know you could make stitch holes with the laser at the time I filmed this. Thanks for watching!

@TheHragpailian 9 месяцев назад

hello, what settings are you using for the cutting part?

@RoadAgentLeather 9 месяцев назад

Hi. It's been a while since I made this video. I can't remember the speed settings, but the power was 100% and I believe 3 passes. If you watch my "10W vs 22W" video, I remember stating some of my settings in that.

Engraving settings??

@RoadAgentLeather 6 месяцев назад

for a 10W diode, I'd start at around 20% power and maybe 200 mm/s. Test on scrap and see where you need to go from there. It all depends on your material and how deep of an engraving you want.

@grich__ Год назад

Those are some nice fuckin coasters

@iamnoone. Год назад

Did a nice on your logo but a little slow on the holster cut out. I wonder if you can do it in reverse where the leather is black and your logo is leather color 🤔

@RoadAgentLeather Год назад

The holster leather was 9 oz, much thicker than the coasters 2 oz. It was my version of a torture test. I slowed it down to 120mm/min to get the laser to cut through it in one pass. But as mentioned, next time I'll actually double the speed and just make multiple passes. Yeah, there's absolutely no reason you couldn't reverse the image. There's really a lot I can do with it.

@iamnoone. Год назад

@@RoadAgentLeather if you get a chance make some in reverse to see what they look like. Thank you

Would you not save a lot of time and money if you just inserted a piece of metal inside. I'm sure even a stainless steel disk will be cheaper than your 3D print. More profit. Unless you just made this for yourself.

For sure. This was a one-off prototype. The way I make them now is much more streamlined and cost effective. It may make for a good follow-up video someday.
