The Turning Point: Investing in the Right Tool

Before laser engraving, Morrison Made Leather hand-stamped and tooled every piece of leather. While beautiful, this method was time-consuming, limiting his order volume and customization capacity.

When researching leather for laser engraving, Morrison wanted a machine that could:

  • Deliver high precision and speed

  • Handle thick, natural leathers

  • Allow custom branding and client personalization

  • Integrate with LightBurn software

That’s when he found the Monport 80W CO2 Laser Engraving Machine, featuring a 900 x 600mm engraving area—perfect for wallets, belts, keychains, journal covers, and more.

Why the Monport 80W CO2 Was a Game Changer

Morrison Made Leather chose this model because of its built-in water cooling system, which maintains stability during long engraving sessions. Here’s what helped drive his success:

Fire-Resistant Viewing Window

Safety was non-negotiable. The polyester-and-iron frame viewing window provides resistance to extreme heat (melting point over 430°C), which minimizes fire risks—especially critical when working with flammable materials like leather.

Closed Aviation Aluminum Rail

Smooth motion and accuracy mattered for detailed logo engravings. The enclosed X-Y rail system kept smoke and dust out, preserving precision over time.

Free Laser Safety Glasses

Handling a Class 4 laser safely was essential. These certified glasses offered peace of mind for daily operation.

High-Speed & High-Resolution Output

  • Engraving speed up to 800 mm/s

  • Resolution up to 4500 dpi

  • 3 built-in LED bars ensured visibility and accurate positioning
