I love my three XTool lasers. Needed something to do during the shutdown so I started with the 10 watt diode. Just a basic unit. Put extensions on it and learned to use. It was before Christmas I had people asking me to make them gifts. Guess what they wanted to pay me. Paid it off within a couple of months. Bought the 20 watt diode next, same thing more power and it cut faster. My husband has lathes and makes beautiful bowls. I saw the P2 and was in awe of the curved surfaces feature. I thought I can engrave on his hand turned bowls, pencils or pencil holders. The P2 became my 3rd it is a CO2 laser and just stepped things up a notch. I wanted to be able to cut clear and blue acrylic. It does the trick. I also use it to cut a black acrylic with white core which my husband uses as medallion’s for some of his pieces. I am happy with my choices and have refrained from more as a hobby it keeps me busy. The P2 makes beautiful trophies and such for a side gig. Plus I am having fun.
Fun to have a new tool in the shop! Hope you get the air assist in soon and really good call to get the air filter with it. Pretty expensive though. Could you go over making a DIY version with some activated charcoal furnace filters? Is this unit powerful enough to engrave brass? I think a brass medallion with black lettering would look real classy on walnut pieces.
There seems to be a lot of new desktop lasers being released these days.
It's always fun to have a new tool in the shop.
Great video. That looks like a solid unit. When your smoke extractor starts beeping let me know and I'll tell you what I do!
