xTool recently asked us to review their newest, fastest portable laser, the xTool F1. It has both an infrared (IR) and diode laser in one, letting you engrave, score and/or cut over 300 materials at super speed.

wow I love this

[@bakab2]

Great job

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

Thank you Baka!

[@LivingTreeCarpentry]

Just got my f1, still in the box.
Was nice how you showed utilization of the software

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

So glad you've found it helpful! Let us know what you make first :D -Jane

[@cpg1355]

Help please. My husband & I just got this engraver but it is producing gold or brownish engravings. We did this very same dog tag & it came out nice but gold not black. Thanks for any advice & thanks for your video.

[@darknessfierce4209]

Can you adjust the power it might be too much power and you can change the speed

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

Yes- try a slower speed and maybe a second pass. -Jane

[@cpg1355]

Thanks, as I'm extremely new to xtool I need all the help I can get. I've really just been watching my husband so far & done very little & haven't run it on my own so I'm a bit intimidated & afraid I will break something😂 But the goal is to get nice dark engravings for jewelry pieces.

@@cpg1355 I completely understand feeling overwhelmed. What helps me is to remember that all we're doing is vaporizing the material that the laser comes in contact with (like making little burn marks). Different materials need different settings which takes practice. Try using the machine with some scrap materials first, just to get a sense of how it works. You can do it! -Jane

Thank you :)
