Preset: 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather (Leather / Softgoods)
Typical for 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather: Diode ~0.1mm | CO2 ~0.14mm
In LightBurn Cut Layer settings: set Kerf Offset = 0.07mm (Outward) to produce parts that match your exact drawn CAD dimensions.
Draw this exact slot width in Fusion 360, Illustrator, or MakerCase for a perfect press without needing software compensation.
Leather contracts slightly under thermal vaporisation. Clean soot off edges with a damp cloth or glycerin soap before testing interlocking tenon slots.

2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather Kerf & Fit FAQs
Q1: What is the typical laser beam kerf for 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
On a standard 20W/40W diode laser, 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather typically exhibits a beam kerf width of 0.1mm. On a CO2 laser with a standard 50.8mm (2-inch) focal lens, expected kerf is approximately 0.14mm.
Q2: What LightBurn kerf offset should I enter for 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
Enter half of the measured beam kerf as an Outward Kerf Offset in LightBurn's cut layer settings: 0.05mm for diode lasers, or 0.07mm for CO2 lasers. This enlarges outside cut lines and shrinks inside hole cuts so parts match your CAD drawings.
Q3: What slot width should I design in CAD for a tight press-fit in 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
For a tight, glue-free press fit (interlocking finger/tenon joints), design your CAD slots to 1.9mm. For a snug friction fit, use 2mm. For sliding lids or loose tabs, use 2.1mm.
Q4: What are the best cutting practices for 2mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
Leather contracts slightly under thermal vaporisation. Clean soot off edges with a damp cloth or glycerin soap before testing interlocking tenon slots.
