Q Is oscillating knife cutting better than laser cutting for leather?
A For most leather applications, oscillating knife cutting is preferred because it produces clean edges without burning, darkened edges or hardened lines that can affect stitching and hand feel.
Knife cutting also avoids smoke and fumes generated by laser cutting, creating a cleaner workshop environment and reducing the risk of damaging sensitive leather finishes.
