Tests: Laser Cutting Leather – Do Leathercrafters Need a Laser?

In this video, I test how leather reacts to cutting and engraving on a budget laser machine. I share my real experience, results, and observations without promotion or bias — just honest testing and personal conclusions. We’ll take a close look at how different leather types behave under the laser, what works well, what doesn’t, and whether this tool can be useful for leathercrafters in everyday work. This is not an advertisement or anti-advertisement, but a practical experiment based on real use. If you’re thinking about using a laser for leather projects, this video may help you decide whether it’s worth trying. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments!
