Testing Laser Engraving on a Thin Leather Notebook | Laser Engraving Settings, Tips & Results

Dialing in the perfect laser settings for thin leather can make or break a project. In this video, I test engraving a thin leather notebook using a Creality Falcon A1 laser engraver to see how different power and speed combinations affect detail, burn depth, and overall clarity. If you’re working with leather or want cleaner, more consistent engravings, this breakdown will help you get reliable results.
