xTool S1 40W

After years of thinking about purchasing a laser engraver I finally pulled the trigger, so far I am very satisfied. After watching a lot of U tube videos this was my best compromise in price, features, size and quality. Set up and assembly were easy, after adapting my brain to the instruction manual. Utube videos to the rescue. Navigating software was not overly difficult, just dive in and try the different capabilities. I suggest using inexpensive card stock to get started, I used matte board pieces from my collection of stuff. The build quality is fantastic. With all the choice availability the xTool s1 platform with its software complement appeared to be the one for me. Would love to have a co2 laser but to pricey for me.

This thing is Amazing! The only downside is that I have to learn a new thing and it's so hard. It came with a million pieces that I dont know how to use. But, if you've used Design Space, it's similar. The packaging was very solid and I was able to unpacked it and put it together by myself. It is large so be prepared to have a dedicated space for it. I plan to do a lot with it so I purchased the upgraded package, and I'm glad I did. Pricey but worth the money if you're more than an occasional crafter. It has the ability to make precise, small designs. It works fast so I'm able to produce a lot in a small amount of time. You definitely need to vent the hose though bc it will smell up your space. It's not terribly strong, but noticeable if that's a thing that bothers you. Definitely satisfied with my purchase.

Very good laser and fairly easy to learn how to use .I have another laser by a different company and it's much harder to use .I really like the pin point settings my other machine has a camera nut the xtool is much more accurate

Amazing, love this machine. Assemble not thay easy but works wonderfully.

We feel that the size is misrepresented. The title, images, description, details section and almost all areas of this listing and the associated product on the Xtool website keep referring to the bed size as almost 24x15 inches. Nowhere on this listing does it say that the work area is only 19x12. We laser full frame designs on products and bought this specifically for the 24x15 area we thought we could laser. We only found out about the smaller work area when we watched a YouTube video from another Xtool owner and they referred to the bed size limitations. That’s when we went through this whole listing again and found no mention of a work area at all, but bed size is repeatedly mentioned. Only once on the Xtool product page does it mention work area, not in the images, description or details. You have to scroll pretty much all the way down to the bottom under specifications to find the one line saying your laser area is smaller than the bed size that keeps being advertised. We spent a lot on this and bought the riser, the rotary bundle, and other things to combine with the laser but now feel disappointed and deceived.

This is amazing. I bought this last year in august and it has been amazing. I have made so many cool projects with this. The rotary bundle is easy to set up but you will need to read the directions. The Xtool 40 watt laser works well for creating cool laser products. 10/10

Watch out, I purchased the bundle that showed everything was included, rotary kit, conveyer belt, and 4 laser types/wattages. No where on the product page does it say the other wattage lasers aren't included. I spent more than I planned but I figured I could get everything at once and it was an early black friday deal. Well only the 40w laser showed up so I contacted the company. Chat support was very slow but when they finally responded I was told that they were included in another bundle, not mine. I provided pictures of them on the product page, along with the included items and features of the S1. They send back another picture but I didn't see that one on the Amazon ad. They said theirs was from the xTool website they don't know what Amazon puts on the listing. It says its the xTool store so I thought it was 1st party affiliated with xTool. Chat said sorry, even though it was listed they wouldn't provide them. It's not the end of the world but this was a pretty big purchase for me, 2200 plus tax isn't cheap. Now I regret buying an xTool product, they seem like a scummy company. I included pictures of the ad because I feel like the company will change the listing to try and avoid litigation. Buyer beware with xTool! Edit: The company contacted me after my review and offered me a discount on purchasing the 2 watt UV laser. I am not happy about having to spend more money to get what I was thinking was part of the bundle. I did increase my rating though because the X1 is working well for leatherette, even two tone. I set my power with the 40 watt to 10%, 300mm and it cuts off the top layer perfectly to show the second layer. The Xtool software was easy to work with and the pinpoint system to enter the size of the item you are working with was easy to understand. The 2nd day of having it unpacked I had engraved/cut leather, wood, and slate.

I bought this for my wife as a replacement for a glowforge aura. In less than 3 years she had two glowforges break, and their customer service is terrible. The xtool is way faster at cutting wood (does the same job in less than half the time) and doesnt cause burning like the other brands. Although this is expensive it is worth the price.
