I coded such by hand when experimenting w/ a drag knife:

Drag Engraver (MC Etcher) on Leather Question

The diamond tools are far too dull to cut leather and would just grab and snag and damage the surface — a drag knife is a far more workable tool for leather, so long as it isn’t used at a depth beyond which it can cut safely/consistently. While not a decorative cut, I was able to use a drag knife to successfully cut leather (workholding was double-sided tape — profligate, but it works): [WIN_20210524_20_57_18_Pro] [WIN_20210525_00_14_37_Pro] Spotted the holes using a 30 degree V endmill an…

Vacuum Table 24x12

(double-sided tape gets expensive)

but as folks have noted, a suitable laser (and filtration) is far more expedient.
