Information

      I exclusively use veg tan leather and I noticed there were not many test grids for it. These are the steps I used after finding different resources but you can play around with the speed/power settings as you see fit. I have just joined the xTool community with my first machine and wished I had found thorough instructions when I started so I hope this helps anyone with the same machine type and material :)
