Versatile Engraving Capabilities

The Laser B1 30W can perform various types of leather engravings, each suited for different aesthetic and functional needs: Surface Engraving: This process lightly scratches the surface of the leather, giving a delicate and elegant impression. It's perfect for embossing names or small graphics on leather accessories. Deep Engraving: For a more pronounced design, deep engraving cuts into the leather, resulting in a bold and textured appearance. Burnishing: This method lightens specific areas of the leather to create contrast and depth, ideal for intricate patterns. Tone-on-Tone: By adjusting the laser power, you can achieve a tone-on-tone effect, engraving a lighter design on darker leather or vice versa, enhancing visual interest.

The Laser B1 30W is not limited to leather. It can also cut through 20mm plywood and 10mm acrylic in one pass, and can handle up to 25mm plywood, 50mm acrylic, and 0.1mm stainless steel. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for a wide range of crafting needs.
