That is awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!@@patrickrudbeckcarstensen9811
You really got me considering! Thanks as always for very helpful videos! Stay safe
My favorite part of this video, is the mistakes. Thanks for reminding us that we are all human. It’s easy to get discouraged when you’re learning and material is wasted!
I just subscribed to your channel! 🖤
Thank you for all the help!!
Glad you got something out of it.
Nice review. How thick of a piece of wood can it handle without the riser base? Thank you again for great review!
I have the F1 and will (hopefully) be adding the S1 fairly soon thanks to your great, informative video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how I explained this machine! Very detailed and answered all my questions. Do you know if you can ingrave on a hat. On a fedora felt hat?
Awesome video!!! I am just now starting to research these and was wondering if it will engrave/cut thin aluminum?
Great video. Would love to see you engrave a 40 oz Stanley tumbler full wrap
Great session gang watch this one a few times lots of nuggets!!
So glad you found value in it!
Hi CC, thanks for the review; I enjoyed watching it.
You were talking about the link to the test file, I might have missed it but I could not find it in the description.
Thank you in advance for sharing.
Cheers, Jeroen
Hey Jeroen! I appreciate the kind words! I just updated the description. You should be able to find them now!
Hi Matt, thank you for your fast reply and for the link!
Kind regards, Jeroen
Ya know what? I watched the XTOOL livestream last night. Well suffice it to say, I now have an 10 watt XTOOL D1 with enclosure and honeycomb panel for sale. I bought the 40 watt S1 that comes with the fancy air assist and honeycomb panel by the time the livestream was over. And best of all, these units are IN STOCK, for immediate delivery in the US! I can hardly wait.
You made an awesome decision. I promise you won’t be nothing but impressed by it!
I just bought mine today!
Great video! I have the M1 and enjoy it, but the new features in the S1 are really cool. Looking forward to seeing more projects with this machine. If possible can you mention the time a project takes. Thanks.
My S1 is on order on the first day it was shown.
What is the bed size of the machine? Not the working area of the machine. I engrave 15"x15" concrete, wondering if this will fit in this machine.
What is the paper an the purpose you had on the acrylic? I didn't think the S1 would cut acrylic (or maybe It says only dark acrylic), but it looks like you were able to. Never used a laser before, but considering getting one.
Thanks!
i want this and i will have it mainly because of your review ... subscribed !
So glad the review was of value you to you! I appreciate the kind words!
How big a tumbler can this laser do with the riser? Specifically, it is big enough for the 30oz tumblers (4.12 inch diameter), or the big Stanley tumblers with the handle?
I will have to measure, but I believe it will accommodate it!
Hope some of the new creative space features will be backwards compatible with the D1 pro!
I'm a little confused on the rotary attachment. You said it was the RA2 rotary attachment, but when I look on xTool's website, when they show the bundles it looks like the RA2 attachment they show is the one with the chuck to hold the material not the rollers. Is the roller one the one they actually send? I *think* I'd like the chuck one better, but I've never done rotary lasering (yet).
Hey Chris! So the RA2 pro rotary attachment comes with BOTH the jaw chuck and the rollers. I made a video about a year ago showing it if you’d like to check it out. The picture you see probably is just with the jaw chuck attached.
I am honestly thinking of getting the S1 and selling my D1 Pro with extension kit. The S1 just seems like a cleaner setup (less hassle also) and actually with pass through can run even larger sheets. Thank you for this video and appreciate that you also show settings that you used.
Glad you found it useful! I understand where you are coming from, it will be hard to go to an open diode laser after using this!
Before pulling the trigger, you might want to check out the parts and module availability for your D1 Pro. I have been told by a few people they cannot get replacement parts or modules for the D1, only the 40w is available for the D1 Pro, and it has been this way for months, they say.
The service life & tech support would be a big consideration for me before investing further in xTool products... even if your D1 Pro is still working fine.
@@Metal_Vistas Support has been hit and miss thus far for me and they do seem to favor certain countries.. but i wish to not get into that, lol. I have decided to stick with my D1 Pro 20W but may look at their F1 in the future. I also have an Elegoo Phecda which really is it's early stages.. Thank you anyhow for advice.
@@Metal_Vistas Is the overall customer service poor? ty...Just now researching all the laser products for a small home business. any suggestions, much appreciated! ty
@@staceyengstrom2012 I am probably the wrong person to ask because I decided not to purchase any products from xTool.
What is it that you recommend for a beginner's home use? I'm looking at the new Wecreat Vision right now it looks like a really good deal.
I have seen videos comparing these 2 machines, the S1 and WeCreat, so that might be worth checking out.
thank you
Real nice review! Can you link me to where I can buy those magnetic hold-downs please?
They come with the S1---not sure if available seperatley
They come with the honeycomb :)
Matt what an awesome overview! I aspire to have my production value at your level one day. Not sure if it’s just my browser or not but at minute 5:30 in the video it seems something got jumbled in the edit. I know the pain of a re-upload but maybe just the TH-cam editor can allow you to clip that spot.
Chad thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot! Oh my gosh…. That would be premiere 😥 I will do the TH-cam editor thank you for letting me know, I don’t know how I missed this
Nicw video! Just wondering if this would be worth the money since I have the D1 Pro 40 watt with the xTool 1064nm Infrared Laser Module for D1 Pro machine. I have the premium with the Air assist, honeycomb, etc. I have everything possible to purchase for the D1 Pro. I'm not sure that it would be anything I need. I also purchased the Laser Pecker 4 premium package as well. Any thoughts?
You already have a wonderful setup and are invested well. If anything to add to your arsenal would be a C02 laser if you were to do a lot of production stuff. I think I would hang on to what you have!
@@CorneliusCreations Thanks for the response. I was thinking the same thing, I appreciate your confirmation.
This has caught my attention
Mine too!
does the 20W version cut through 3-6mm+ wood nicely like teh website suggests?? im just about to order it but i barely see any cutting tests of teh S1 out there and getting me nervous to buy... all cuts are so thin at only 3mm...
The 20W will handle that cutting with ease. They are powerhouse machines. I think people do 3mm cutting just to show you the accuracy and cut test. They will handle a lot more.
@@CorneliusCreations Thank you!!!
I have the XT F1 and it shows a preview of exactly where it's going to go like an outline and then it actually shows the preview. Does this not do that?
This does not... the f1 does this because it uses a galvonometer rather than a rail system... this means the f1 uses a set of mirrors to quickly move the laser around.
Does the laser during cutting mark the bottom floor of the box? Looks like the honeycomb does not come with its own floor plate like for the D1
My honeycomb did not come with a floor.
@@CorneliusCreations yes but without the honeycomb
floor do you get burn marks on the floor of the laser enclosure?
@@sheltoncherry2366 From what I've seen, if you're cutting through the material without using the honeycomb, it will likely mark the floor. For cutting you should definitely use the honeycomb, the thickness of the honeycomb will make it so that when the layer strikes the floor below it (in the gaps), it won't be in focus enough to mark the floor. In another review, the reviewer actually used the laser to draw an alignment pattern on the floor so he could use that for alignment when just engraving.
Can your test file work with the S1 with the 20W module? @CorneliusCreations ?
Yes it will :)
How long it took to engrave the tumbler? Thanks!
This one took way too long because the error with the SVG file
Which is best - S1 or X1 ?
is it better than Glowforge? Thanks for the good reviews!
Hey there! I hate to biased… but I wouldn’t buy a glowforge.
Thanks for the good advice!! 👍
You are welcome!
Thanks!
You are too kind! Thank you sir!
Where did you get the honeycomb clips from?
They came with the honeycomb grid :)
What mm/s was this cutting at? 14:52
Hi can I ask a question? Since u have the P2 & in the S1 also which one of the two is the best to purchase? P2 or S1. Can the P2 cut metal?
Thank for u’r time responding to my ?, much appreciated. 😊
Hey there! Great question. The P2 or S1 is not able to cut metal. I would advise you to look at your needs. The best laser is the one that fits your needs, your lifestyle, and the projects you are making. The P2 is a production workhorse and can handle a wide range of material cutting and engraving. The S1 can do the same, but with the option to have the IR module for metal. If you watch my video from 4 weeks ago, I give info that will help you decide :) you won’t go wrong with either one.
@@CorneliusCreations thank you, appreciate the info
@@ladyscorpion7233 If you need to cut metal, a fiber laser or CO2 laser might be a more suitable option.
There's no shipping for Greece 😢.....
Is your $200 discount code for U.S. Store still valid?
Hi, I am new to this and thinking to buy this one, what is IR laser used for and do I need it? Thanks
The S1 is an amazing machine. The IR is used for engraving on metal, plastic, acrylic and stuff like leather. It basically allows you to do stuff the blue light diode won’t allow you too
Thank you @@CorneliusCreations
@@CorneliusCreationsYour video shows you engraving leather with the 40W though. Is the IR just better (cuz the 40W seemed to do really well) or are there different types of leather the 40W won't do?
@@WeaponStencils Diobe lasers absorb leather better than IR, so they are generally used to engrave leather. As to whether 40W can't engrave different types of leather, this is generally not a special limitation.
Thanks for the great video. So buy purchasing the $800 air filter, will this eliminate they need for any additional ventilation ( I’m looking to use this inside of a small room).
Glad you enjoyed it! The smoke purifier is a great investment for small rooms with no ventilation. I’d you do plan to use constantly I do recommend a ventilation for economical reasons.
But does it cut 1-2mm brass that’s the question
No it does not
I used discount code for the $200 off for the S1 but when I go to the checkout it doesn't show it. Has anyone else have this problem?
I have heard of this before, I’m sure xTool can update your order to reflect the price.
@CorneliusCreations I contacted them and waited for there reply
Awesome, to confirm, I saw a xTool Facebook rep said hat you can order and they will fix it for you.
@CorneliusCreations Thank you again and I saw just saw the comment in Facebook and luckily I emailed that exact same person. Hopefully I'll hear from them soon
Hey there, I was notified that the promo code is from 10/22 - 11/22. So it’s not active yet.
I was very interested in the S1 until recently, when I began seeing reports from D1 and D1 Pro owners that replacement parts are no longer available for those machines, and you can no longer purchase modules for them, other than the $1,200 40w module for the D1 Pro. Given the fact that xTool was heavily promoting those machines less than a year ago, this is VERY concerning.
In my opinion, a tool or an electronic component at this price-point should have more than 1 or 2 years of support from the manufacturer. I would be outraged if I spent more than $1,000 and was told I own a paper-weight after a year or two. After learning how limited their support is, I have crossed xTool off my list of contenders.
Just un-packed my new xTool S1 with the complete bundle. Assembled it as required. One thing I am HIGHLY PISSED at is the sentence in the setup manual that says, "optional accessories---Air Assist." In setup it says do not use until you have Air Assist. WHAT IN THE HELL xTool. NOT COOL........
I will have to check the wording but if you bought before Nov 2, you should have a free air assist shipping to you
I was almost sold on purchasing this unit until I realized it doesn’t have the camera for quick setup 😩
I can understand your hesitation. Cameras are awesome to have, this positioning system still makes it extremely easy to use. Have you compared this to the P2?
@@CorneliusCreations honestly been going back and forth about which laser to get the past couple of days. For me stuff like this is a bit easy to do. But I’m thinking of my not so tech savvy wife. As well as this would be our first laser and looking into starting another side hustle. Too many options. Was looking at the fact that I can add the ir module so she can engrave jewelry. And so I can have a larger work service for wood projects or batch processing patches.
Hmm, have you looked at the F1 then?
@@CorneliusCreationsthe F1 was a thought. But then plans changed and we decided to start a boys hat and apparel company 😂. Going back I wish I would have just went with the S1. Because we went with the M1 because of the camera and the ability to cut vinyl. The camera is not so great. Doesn’t actually line things up correctly.
Gosh Darnit, I Forgot to Auto Focus...
Based on how every youtuber reviews things, every laser cutter brand and model has "cornered the market". It's a tell-tale sign of a paid review, whether the review is honest or not.
You are sadly mistaken my friend.
Promo not work
It starts on the 22nd of this month
Yes, but on Oct 22nd, the price goes up $200… there’s a countdown on their site showing this. This is so wrong on so many levels, and XTool is pretty much lying and tricking people into making this purchase. Granted, it’s only $200, but the principles behind this type of marketing are just wrong!
My last name is cornelius lol never met another cornelius
Oh wow! Nice to meet you Cousin!
The 20w is for higher cut precision. It’s not for less power.
@mikiauto73 So, if I am using the laser to cut image pieces for layered signs would I be best to go with 20w?
Hello, you should say (if they told you at all) that all the promotions staff is applicable for US ONLY. It does not apply to Europeans it seems. The Air assist and honeycomb are not free at all. For the 20w, the EU price to have these is €1699 ($1800) while for US it's $1599. Thank you but no thank you.
Laser isn't carving at all. It's for the ones that can't do anything without a machine to do it for them. 😂 it's a joke
