xTool F1 2-in-1 Dual Laser and Infrared Engraver with Slide Extension, Rotary Extension and Smoke Purifier, Lightning Speed Portable Fiber Laser Engraver for Metal Wood

This is my second laser but my first portable laser. My other laser is an Om Tech 60w CO2. I use it for the cutting of wood and burning larger projects. I love the F1 because it is easy to use and portable. I do a few craft shows a year and it is easy to take with me to personalize items for the customer. It does a great job on slate coasters and on leather projects. On the smaller items it is so much easier to set up than the larger laser. Easy to focus and the framing is very accurate. It has been worth every penny that I paid for it and so far it appear to be durable since it has endured the rigors of the farmers market and craft shows. I would like to have a stronger one but will have to wait for a while due to the additional cost.

Great machine! Easy to use software. I love the fast you can remove a piece of base that allows it to be used with larger material. Great value for the money. Durable design compared to Creality. You don't have to worry about this falling apart. Easily movable. Super accurate laser and easy to use with the boarder feature.

We run both the xTool F2 Ultra and the xTool F1, and they each serve a very different but equally important role for us. The F2 Ultra handles our heavy production work, but the xTool F1 is outstanding for portability and mobile use. Being able to transport a laser engraver this easily and still get clean, professional results is a huge advantage. We use the F1 for on site engraving, events, quick jobs, and situations where bringing a full size machine is not practical. Despite its compact size, the F1 performs extremely well. Engraving quality is sharp and consistent across wood, leather, acrylic, and coated metals. The dual laser setup makes it flexible, and the lightning fast speed means you are not waiting around for small jobs to finish. Setup is quick, calibration is simple, and the workflow is smooth. It is the kind of machine you can take out of the case, set up, and start engraving without hassle. Build quality feels solid and confidence inspiring for something designed to be portable. Bottom line. The F1 is not a replacement for a large production machine like the F2 Ultra, but as a mobile, transportable laser engraver it is excellent. If you need professional results on the go, the xTool F1 delivers.

I own several xTool lasers and decided to add the F1 to the lineup for my studio work. I have been thoroughly impressed by how well this laser works for my needs. The first big project I tackled on it was a run of customized anodized aluminum cards to create tokens for a game. The level of fidelity in the images it produced- the clean sharp lines for text, and even the incredibly detailed greyscale without using a dithering mode were really incredible and were a huge step up from attempting the same engraving on my D1 Pro while also being about 10 times faster. The framing tools were invaluable for being able to lineup the chipboard jig I made for project, being able to see exactly where the bounds were all at once made it so easy to get everything dialed in. The option to have the framing go to the exact shape of the design has also been very useful for some of the other projects I've run on it. The speed on this machine is crazy fast - it's fast enough that I haven't hesitated to incorporate customized parts into more aspects of my shipping materials like mailer boxes and envelopes as they each finish so quickly it takes so little time to make stuff a little extra cool. The air purifier is also a great addition to this device, it's really great to be able to run the machine on a table behind me in the studio and not have to stress about the smoke. All in all this is a really great device that has helped streamline and speed up a lot of the parts of my business I was using lasers for in general.

I own a M1 +RA2 and D1 Pro machine from xtool, a pecker 3, snapmaker 2.0, and for this price tag was expecting much more from what this little F1 offers. maybe the ultra expensive, extremely well branded/advertised F1 ultra works as you may think, but this little F1 is just (another) OVERPRICED machine from xtool that unfortunately doesn't perform beyond from what you can get from cheaper machines from other brands, btw for the same price of this you can get from another brand a 20w fiber laser that is trully capable of deep engraves and cut metal (f1 ultra like capabilities?!) , do your own research and understand that for the same price xtool puts lately on their machines, you can get more powerful machines that maybe look uglier outside (who really cares) but are power houses using the same universal software that almost all laser machine use (including xtool) now a days (lightburn). help build a better comunity focused toward users and dont just settle with good avertised machines. buy quality-top performace machines out there for the right price and help other bussines grow and keep inovating as well as pushing this business(xtool) to become more competitive with prices. as an example for almost 5k cost of F1 ultra you can get a 60w fiber laser that cuts 1.2mm of some metals, engrave almost 3mm plus more. or buy 2 separated machines like 30w fiber laser and a 40-60w diode laser for the same price. with more power, working area. you can get better result across more items/materials, unless you just want to sell tumblers and business cards forever (uber like business model) keep buying this underpowered, overpriced, overated machines.

Very good quality. The software is easy to use and the machine speed is fast. Almost all materials can be engraved, I guess. It’s portable and convenient to carry. Not very heavy
