Frequently Asked Questions

• Compared to the counterpart from other brands, what are the merits of F1? 

The fastest of its kind: 4000 mm/s! Top one in speed: We made it because we adopted the industrial grade galvo system. And we upgraded the algorithm of F1 to calculate the fastest possible path to engrave each and every pattern. For 5 secs, make a metal business card; 1 sec, make a paper card; 6 secs, make a leatherette patch. 
The finest of its kind, exceptional high accuracy: F1 can reach 0.00199mm motion accuracy and 0.000248mm repetition accuracy! Thanks to the photoelectric sensor and hypersensitive magnets inside the F1 galvo system, xTool F1 can quickly respond and correct the position signal to its most accurate placement.
The world’s first TRUE dual laser in a machine: xTool F1 combines 10W diode laser and 2W infrared laser inside the machine and can be seamlessly switch automatically during processing.
Safe fully-enclosed machine: The cover of the xTool F1 can be fully enclosed and can block all the smoke and smell, leaving a clean and odorless working environment. The cover can also block laser lights and protect your eyes.

• How do the dual lasers work in F1？What materials can it engrave？

xTool F1 has both 10W 455nm blue/diode laser and 2W 1064nm infrared laser to engrave Almost ALL common materials in daily life. Diode lasers perform best on wood, acrylic, leather, slate, glass, ceramic, etc., while infrared lasers can engrave clearly on all-metals(stainless steel, aluminum, gold, silver, iron, platinum) and plastic.
Notice that, it only emits diode laser or infrared laser SOLELY (not at the same time) each time. Set or switch the laser source inside FREExTool creative Space software.

• How deep can xTool F1 cut？

The 10w diode laser cuts 8 mm basswood and 6 mm black acrylic.
