CutChart / workshop reference
Leather Laser Engraving & Cutting Settings
13 manufacturer-published reference rows from Creality Falcon, Monport and OMTech match this reference. Each row keeps its exact machine, material, operation, speed and power as printed, with passes where the table prints them, links to the source and states the date we read it. CutChart has not tested these settings. A field the publisher does not print is marked not specified. Material safety statements are quoted from Creality, Epilog Laser and Trotec Laser.
Material safety statements from the sources
Leather
- Hazard:
There are some materials that should not be processed with a laser engraver or a laser cutter because of their chemical make-up. Processing these materials creates dangerous gases or dust.

These are each publisher's own parameters for its machine and material. CutChart has not run them. Confirm the exact material, focus, air assist and lens with the manufacturer before use.
Read the evidence in context
Our source process explains the checks behind a row. The speed converter changes units; it does not move a setting to another machine. Check power labels with the optical-watt decoder, and read the safety limits before choosing a material.
Common questions
Can I use a row on another machine?
Each row belongs to the stated machine and configuration. A matching wattage or material name does not establish a setting for another machine.
Why are some fields marked not specified?
The publisher’s table prints speed, power and thickness, and sometimes passes, but not air assist, focus or lens. CutChart shows each unprinted field as not specified rather than filling it in.
Why are some combinations absent?
CutChart publishes a row only when its source, exact machine, material, operation and a sourced material-safety statement meet the reference requirements. An absent row is an unknown answer.
