  • I wanted to do more than an unboxing video of the Xtool F1 laser, and so I've been working with this machine for weeks to get on top of it. Hopefully this video allows me to show you some of the possibilities with this machine, and also that it can be frustrating at times.
    The test templates from @Samcraftcom that everyone should get IMO • The ONLY Test File You...
    As stated in the video, Xtool did send me this free for review, but I'm not being paid, and am under no obligation to say nice things.

    TH-cam notified me that you tagged me in this video and I am so glad it did! Even though I have the same machine I still found myself watching and listening to your entire video! I've subscribed and am now off to see what other videos you have. Thanks for the shout out and tagging me so I found your channel! :)

    Excellent stuff. I've got the XTool M1 and I love it. Great for seasonal gifts, and it uses up loads of scrap wood 😉

    Even though I most likely will not get or need one, this was an informative video for those who are thinking of getting one or who are on the fence. Like the way that you show the whole thing including the problems one may face when using one.

    The video is not too long at all Dean! Interesting stuff mate!
    Kinda wished I bought this one instead of the Longer RAY5 10W..., I must admit having a bit of cold feet getting started, and this one seems really user friendly! Maybe Xtools are reading the comments and decide to send me one as well 😄😄
    Bought it to make some builders logos with it to put on furniture and other stufff I make.

      Recommended settings are absolutely the way to start buddy. My top tip is to use the templates from the Samcraft channel on every material though and build up a library of settings that work for you

    Great video. I'm inspired and looking into the depth of my wallet to see if there is any way I could justify buying that set you are using there.
    I think the obvious use for it for me is branding my creations and try to break into the market of personalisation of various products, be it something I've made or something customers have themselves.
    You've got some great content on your channel. I'm glad I found it. I've got a lot to learn but hopefully will get there soon.

    Excellent video Dean! Regarding the Xtool vs Lightburn. Xtool makes great machines, but they are very expensive. For what lightburn costs, it would be cheaper to buy a different brand and lightburn. But it's good that they sent you your machine for free

    @simonreynolds1518 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thank you Dean, very informative and yes I for one would be interested in watching some more videos of how you can achieve different results, always thought an engraver would be handy to lightly burn a design onto a piece to use as a pattern for a hand carved design instead of drawing by hand.

    • @WoodworkJourney
      @WoodworkJourney  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They certainly aren’t for everyone but they can do so much it’s bonkers. I’ll be doing a short about it removing rust from stuff, I’m old but that’s living in the future to my delicate brain lol

      @@WoodworkJourney I remember when 3d printers and laser cutters first started to appear on the market for non industrial users and they were very basic, the improvement in the quality and efficiency that todays models have is amazing and while I'd love one because as you've shown they are so versatile but I struggle with the IT side of things, I need plain simple instructions in a manual, using jargon and hiding functions inside folders and drop boxes makes my ludite brain hurt 😁, it's refreshing when someone like yourself takes the time to show and explain to people some of the functions and how they are used, I always look forward to your videos and I'm glad your channel is gaining viewers and subscribers, take care and thank you once again.

    Can the xtool f1 cut other than black acrylic...It does a great job cutting black but when I use another color...it doesn't work.
    thanks for your help.

    • @WoodworkJourney
      @WoodworkJourney  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven’t tried it, but I would suggest two things. Cover the other colour with a black paint that can wash off like when engraving glass, and get into the F1 Facebook group, they’re a helpful bunch
