xTool X1 review: The most versatile laser engraver I’ve ever tested

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ywUnABxdmdnNYn7WBJ7yZH-1200-80.jpg

The xTool X1 combines excellent CO₂ cutting performance with fast galvo engraving, plus optional specialist laser modules. It features hybrid motion, automated focusing, and the refined xTool Studio software. Add in the accessories and even in a professional workshop, you will need to allow for some considerable space. Build quality and software integration are, as ever, outstanding, but its weight, space requirements, and time-consuming module changes are frustrating. Additional modules are also incredibly expensive, all increasing the overall investment, but this doesn't detract from just how good this is..

  • +Excellent workflow

Reasons to avoid

  • -Substantial workshop space needed
