Does it do anything to leather?

Duuuuuuuude this is sweet!!

LOL@Standardman.

You do personal engravings on random shit? I assume engraved on certain kinds of materials. Could perhaps make a bit of cash for it. =D

Could draw a dick on it.

Yeah, it'll cut and engrave. I personalized some cigars on it yesterday, which was pretty cool.

You could offer prototyping services to companies.

Automotive forums are really big into customized badges. Most are polished aluminum.

How thick can you cut/engrave?

What types of files do you work with...PSD?

I can engrave any thickness of material. Is seems that Quarter inch plastic and wood are about it's limitations as far as cutting anything in a time effective manner goes. It really cant cut or engrave metal, only metal that's been coated with something that the laser can take away. I just thought of skateboard decks today, those could be cool.

A machine shop we use makes customs product labels. They use some kind of metal from 3M that has adhesive on the back and has a thin coat of black on the front (maybe anodized?). They use the laser to etch away the black which leaves a whitish ivory color. They are good for small runs of serial number labels or one offs.
