This Video is a demonstration of the steps taken on my xTool S1, XCS, and finishing the engraving of an image on a wood surface. The material is wood from Michaels to engrave on. Stand was purchased from there as well. The setting for my final engraving is: for the image 17% power/75 mms(Take your time to allow the laser to work and do not risk over-burning the material) For the text I used 64% power/128mms both at 180 LPI. I hope this helps. Please like and subscribe. leaning forward while working out of the garage.
Application for image clean up and prep: I used PhotoShop - you can us Gimp or Inkscape to do this as well.
XCS to run the laser: xTools software is good and takes advantage of all the features.
Laser is xTool S1 20Watt. User friendly and a great machine.
The laptop is an AUSU ROG Zephyrus M16.
