The xTool P2S, as part of the P2 series, is suitable for processing leather materials, including cutting and engraving. When cutting leather with the xTool P2S, here are the key points and recommendations based on the available information:
-
Material Compatibility
The xTool P2 series, including P2S, supports processing most organic materials such as leather. However, it is important to avoid leather containing chromium or other harmful substances like polyvinyl chloride or halogens, which are not suitable for laser processing with P2 series machines. -
Processing Mode
The P2S processes materials on a flat surface, which fits well with leather cutting and engraving tasks. Ensure the leather is properly fixed on the working platform to prevent movement during cutting, especially when using air assist. -
Cutting Thickness and Parameters
While specific maximum thickness for leather cutting is not explicitly stated, the P2 series can cut solid wood up to 18 mm and acrylic up to 20 mm, so typical leather thicknesses (usually much thinner) are well within its capability.
Use recommended or tested parameters for leather cutting to ensure clean cuts without burning or incomplete cutting. You can refer to material test arrays in the XCS software to find optimal power, speed, and passes. -
Air Assist and Cleaning
Use the air pump assist to blow away smoke and dust during cutting, which helps maintain a clear cutting path and reduces residue on the leather. After cutting, residues can be wiped off with a cotton cloth or adhesive tape to clean the leather surface. -
Fixation
To prevent leather from shifting during cutting, use magnetic snaps or other fixation methods on the P2S working platform. -
Accessories Compatibility
The P2S shares full accessory compatibility with the P2 series, so you can use conveyor feeders, riser bases, rotary attachments, honeycomb panels, and fire safety sets to enhance your leather cutting workflow. -
Safety and Protective Measures
Always ensure proper ventilation or smoke exhaust during leather cutting to avoid inhaling fumes. The P2S lid filters laser light, so additional protective goggles are generally not required.
