This is a great, approachable review. Thank you for taking the time to upload this.
Thank you. I appreciate the commenting
Thanks, Ken! Great video. Have this ordered and can't wait to start using it.
Hope you enjoy it! I've been using it in conjunction with my F1 and wow I am batching out projects.
Very informative helped decide on which to buy, thank you for your time to review.
Glad it was helpful!
very good review, i did pull the trigger on the 10w version with the honeycomb and airassist
That is awesome. I have been having a ball with this one.
The S1 is the Bambu of Lasers. The twin point system is rock solid.🎉. I love my S1
Yes! I like this thing more ever time I use it.
@@MoonpieCreations I see that the F1 Ultra has an integrated fiber laser. Hopefully we’ll see a fiber module for the S1.
That looks like a sweet machine. I've been contmplating pulling the trigger on the P2, but now I feel like I need to consider the S1.
I’ll be putting out a review of the P2 next month.
I have the same machine and same accessories. I latersaw a review on the s1. While a camera has its use you can still have an an amazing experience lasering with the s1
Cool laser Ken. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Awesome sir
Thank you.
HI Ken, I bought mine a couple months ago, been having a ball with it. My wife has ne doing tumblers for her quilting friends. Great video! It also does an amazing 3D engraving.
IT's a pretty nice little laser. I am testing out the P2 next.
It appears that your power fail test started the job at the beginning which would double engrave the earlier engraved part of the job. Excellent review.
Very helpful
Thank you.
Thank you
Neat toy Ken.
Thanks.
Absolutely brilliant video 👍
I was wondering if you could share the rest of the settings for the hip flask? I see you have the power and speed settings but could you share the lines per cm and engraving mode ?
Thanks for an amazing video
Grayscale, 240 lines, bi-directional. Hope it helps.
*3:44** So, so, SO PowerFULL!☢️*
Hahahha!
Great video. I just received the riser base and conveyor from xTool. I notice in the manual for the riser base that it advises you to not pick up, or move the S1, once the riser base is installed. I assume that is because of the small number of screws holding everything together. Based on that, I don't think I would take it to a craft show.
Uh oh I've moved mine a dozen times lol. I hope that doesn't damage it.
Nice review. Interesting comments about the conveyor. If it only does less than 3/4” and it has to be really flat, that could be a problem. I haven’t come across too many boards that were that thin and still perfectly flat. What would the solution be, a taller riser box? Not an expert and haven’t seen one of these in person. But I assume that the laser itself could be raised farther up than the riser does by whatever support as long as it’s stable and level. I’m guessing it’s the height of the conveyor that is limiting workpiece thickness.
Edit: I just watched another video about the conveyor. I saw on it that the drive roller attachment, whatever it’s really called, is connected to the front of the laser and over the top of the conveyor. So, by seeing that it looks like raising the laser wouldn’t have any effect because the conveyor would have to be raised too. Still like the conveyor idea though.
I’ve been playing with it and I’m starting to like it. It allows me to do larger signs on hardwood. I think most of my issues were inexperience with the conveyor system. There are issues with every system I’ve used. The fun part is learning to overcome it. 😂
With the conveyor, you need to use the tab setting and your letters will not gall out
Thank you.
Hi Ken, I trust your reviews! Do you know how this laser compares with the new Wecreat Vision?
Thank you!
Sorry, I have never used the Wescreat Vision. They have asked me to review it though. Maybe I will.
Hi, congrats on the review. Well done. I am thinking of purchasing this machine. Is the conveyor belt included or optional? I can't tell from the site... Thanks.
It’s optional.
@@MoonpieCreations thanks! In Italy is not available…
Nice job! 🎉
Thanks! 😄
I came across this engraver on another channel and wanted to see how versatile it is and how hard it is to use. If its as easy as you made it look, I may have to take the plunge.
It is a pretty good machine. I have started using it exclusively with my F1. Batching out product is super easy.
Hi Ken great video
I have just received this machine and so far so good
Could you tell me how you get your hexagon test shapes as mine seen to be square only
Thank you
You can choose the shape in Creative space. Once you choose the shape then you create the material test.
Thank you
I have sent another question as well
Sorry for all the questions just trying to get my head around the settings and everything
Thanks in advance
Would you recommend the s1 over the d1? I watched your video on the d1 now I feel conflicted and don’t know what the better option might be
Hey Ashley,
It really depends on what your plans for use are. The S1 if great for taking with me on events. It also does well with curved surfaces. The D1 is a great stay put machine for me. I can use it for larger engraves and cuts. I don't do many larger engraves or cuts, but I do a lot of curved and batch engraves. So the S1 coupled with the F1 are perfect for me.
Ken
So the rainbow coloring is done on purpose (flask)? Forgive my ignorance, to avoid it you raised the power?
Just purchased my S1 system. Question: other than selecting the materials from their supplied menu, how do you know what power and speed settings to use? Is there a chart somewhere? I wish they showed you the power/speed settings they use with their supplied menu of materials so I could learn more about them.
Hey Richard,
So to find out the settings you can do a test grid on different materials. The link to the ones I made in this video are in the description. If you don't want to do that they have material settings for all their machines here www.xtool.com/pages/material-settings.
greetings friend, how deep does s1 20w engrave on hard steel and how much does s1 with IR 2w laser? is the engraving easy to remove or is it deeper in the material?

Sorry I have not used the 20w or IR for this machine. The S1 does well in penetrating the metal though.
Thank you. What about cutting paper. Card stock for intricate cuts (lace like ). Thank you.
Although I haven't tried it with the S1 I think as long as you bring the power down enough it should work fine.
How is the noise of the machine? Thank you
It's awesome what technology can do these days.
Just don't get drunk with power!...
Hahaha, I'll try.
You can easily take off the scratches with special product.
Thanks.
How much this machine ?
And is it worth it to buy ?
Is it a good income for young Guy ?
Can this machine do stainless steel cut and ingraving?
What is maximum dimensions x & y ?
The whole system in $2,499.99 right now. I'm not sure what you will do with it to tell you if it is worth it for you. I am confident you could make good money with it. It will not cut stainless steel unless it is very thins, but can engrave it. The working area is 19.6"× 12.5"(498*319 mm).
Will this cut all colors of acrylic ?
Unfortunately no. The closer you get to blue the less it cuts.
Can it engrave on guns? On mags?
Yes it can. I’ve seen many people show off their results on the S1 Facebook page.
Ty
I might be able to buy it but who's goina operate it ? I still hate this "smart" phone.
Haha, I feel you. One of the reasons I retired from the military was trying to make sure I knew a new piece of equipment better than my guys did. Took longer and longer to learn. Surprisingly this was super easy to learn and use.
