FYI: We are not professionals, and we don't claim to be. This is what we found worked for our project. Yours may need a little different approach. We have just enough woodworking skill to make some basic furniture. Safety first!

They need to ADD rollers at BOTH ends of the machine and in the instructions it needs to say how much longer the project needs to be when cutting or engraving.
This is real sincere experience, it is excellent to know about it!
Thank you for this, we all have wins and failures. I am grateful for your willingness to show us everything as you go along.
Thank you for this video. Your mistakes have helped me understand this machine is not what is necessary for us.
It needs rollers on the front and back to feed material through, then you wouldn't need the extra length.
YES!!!
The roller setup seems very bad, in my opinion. They should have gone with a full belt or track so that the material wouldn't be stranded if it were too short.
This was life saving video, anyone could have made all those mistakes and more.
I am about to purchase a laser machine, but i am new to this so i saw a lot a videos but i don’t know which machine to buy between xtool p2 or an omtech, so i want to ask about your experience which one you guys recommend ? I hope you can see this comment and answer me before i made a mistake.
The P2 is much more user friendly and easier to setup. It also has a better passthrough. I hope you got this in time!!! ~garrett
Omg thanks for your answer, i have a big indecisión looking for what is the investment on one of these machine, at the first my first option was the xtool p2 and then im considering the omtech AF2028-60 thats why im asking you cause i saw your honest review and opinion on your videos, thanks again for answer me i think that im come back to my first option. 😅
Love ur contents. Helped me tremendously. Thank you so much. Much love and respect
A 10’x10’ room is 14’ across the corners. You may be able to do it in that room if you turn it 45 degrees.
PSA: we purchased the feeder as well. Here's what to be aware of:
1. we have yet to get this feeder to work!
2. we've spent around $500 on materials so far on test attempts and at least that on time wasted.
3. we've tried short board lengths, long lengths, etc. no luck
4. we've tried SO MANY setting combos. bottom line, the alignment is off every time
5. we've engaged with xtool support. after weeks of communication (takes 12 hours between contacts because they don't have a US presence) we still don't have a working product. can you imagine this kind of hastle with a car? or a phone? still hoping they can get it working so we can make an ROI (still have yet to sell a product from the conveyor feeder.
BUYER BE WARE!
Email us! Maybe we can help? support@kandgmakeit.com ~garrett
Really love your transparency when it comes to showing us how the different machines work!!!
Making it go back n forth seems to be most the issue. Is there a setting you can change to just make it in one direction? One that doesnt follow the design but just does top to bottom line by line. putting the lazer at the closets position to the feed and that would solve a majority of your issues.
Hello, my conveyor came in only 4 pieces extension instead of 6. Yours looks very long
I'm sure you said, but what's the max width can pass through there? Like for example can I get a 4x4 sheet of anything through there?
The bed size is around 12x24 inches on the P2. Something 4x8 or 4x4 feet you’d need a bed style laser running around $13k. I bet it would be awesome tho. I’m sure you could find one cheaper but you most likely get what you pay for with these.
Hi Kim and Garrett - I think one of the most impressive things you do on this channel is show folks who have this equipment how to constantly upgrade their game. If I were young, and starting out, I would follow you into a great, and fun career. But I'm old and retired, and just enjoy seeing your journey. Great job, win or fail. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
is there a reason you are engraving in the middle of the engraver space? can't you move the head to where the material enters the machine? (to where the markings are on the feeder? This way you won't need to add an additional piece to your board and the head is closer to where the clamps hold down the board
how are the tabs for acrylic? will you be able to break them off without messing up the design?
LOL! We are actually testing that out this week! We are doing some acrylic pieces using the P2.
Just wondering how loud is the machine? I have a GF Pro and Mira 7, GF is LOUD, the Mira isn't. Thanks for you input and the video very informative.
I would said 50 to 60% quieter than the glowforge! Like, I actually said "Wow! That is way quieter than the Glowforge." We want to do a comparison and this would be something good to measure. Thanks!
This is one of the best reviews I have ever come across; this is most likely what many will encounter when they come to using the same accessories. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It helps me avoid mistakes during cutting the wood and not waste the material. I am right now setting up the conveyor and following your advices.
I ordered the bundle including the F1 and just received the p2 yesterday.. the tracking said everything was delivered… been trying to reach the company but no response. Not sure how I feel about this company. You videos are great tho.
I'm in the same boat as you and exact same timing. I also thought the same based on e-mails, but when I log into my xtool account and look closer, it clearly says the order is partly filled and showed the items that still have not fulfilled. that put my mind at ease. looks like everyone is getting there items in stages with the P2 usually first.
The accessories have been arriving about a week after the P2
@@jajordan2515251 hey, I just received an email from a xtool stating the P2s are being sent first. Everything else is still waiting to be processed. Seems like we’re good.
Was it free for you ?
They said Xtool sent it for review. They will have to return it at some point or purchase it.
What's up with folow-up video for automatic conveyor for P2?
Good info, I have the feeder but haven't tried it yet. Way to stay with it!
Thanks for this vid and the transparency on issues! I am getting ready to do etching on 50 mirrors and would have easily been victim to these same issues. Thanks again and carry on. :)
This was a great video and is truly helpful
Good job guys.
man, get a hat that fits!
This one does! lol
