I wish you had let us hear it running. When mine arrived I was not prepared for how loud it was...thought something was wrong with it. By the way I am a retired Industrial Arts (shop teacher) now retired for 23 years. I would have loved to have the tools available to you today. Thanks for a fine video.
Good review. I too have taught laser engraving for a university. I like this specific machine. It looks easy to use. Have you aligned the mirrors yet? Hopefully that is fairly easy. I really enjoy using lasers. I would like this for the ;ass thru feature. Have you done anything using it? Thanks.
Thanks for the review---I recommend the BOFA Advantage AD-350 Laser Fume & Dust Extraction System which I bought, I also vent out the window, but you don't have too, check it out
When it engraved the curve - is there an additional setting for this? I actually need to cut a groove on a curved (or angled surface). 1mm wide. 1mm deep.
Thanks for the very informative video. Can you let me know, did you need external ventilation connected to the cutter to take a way fumes and is the CO2 laser tube water cooled?
The laser tube is water cooled, and there is a built in exhaust fan. I am going to add a more permanent inline fan to help exhaust the fumes further when I take them out of the house
Good morning . I would like to know if you use Windows 11 to work with p2; For my part when I use Windows 11, the machine stops when I burn with the default electrical connection air pump. I tested with an old Windows 10 computer, which is very slow, the machine works very well without problems. Maybe you could help me. THANKS. Happy Holidays
Does this machine actually fit on this table? Website shows the machine at a depth of 25 1/2 inches the table lists at 24 inches. Please I need and answer?
My inner CIM teacher sees those backlit acrylic projects 😂 looks like an awesome laser, we use Epilog at work and although they are incredible…they are not cheap. I use mine daily with my students as well, so I have a high bar set for lasers.
Also, when rastering acrylic, I tend to do “bottom first”, it cuts down on the amount of off gassing/fumes ruining the top edge of the text/images from being vacuumed over the material.
can anyone answer my question, is a diode laser better for precision engraving or can I get the xtool P2 and be just as well off? I was thinking of getting a c02 desktop laser and would like it to have great engraving quality. I understand a fiber would be the best for what I want but its working area is smaller and only works on metals and such and has a smaller working area.
I just ordered the p2 c02 and the F1 which engraves 10x faster and portable ir and diode After a lot of research, that’s the best I could do to get everything I wanted
Considering the affiliate links and the free laser engraver machine they sent you...realize that most of the youtube reviews are in the same boat as you. That being Xtool bothered them until they agreed to do a review on youtube. Could you be honest about the common problems that most paying customers have addressed about the proprietary motherboard failing after a few months, mirror alignment, tube failure, and above all...xtool's customer service?
Everyone talks about using Lightburn with it and I'm really glad that you mentioned the default software and how easy it is.
So far I like it and it does what I have needed it to do.
This was great thanks, I am a retired ITE teacher. Starting my own small business. So helpful

The machine fits on the 24" depth table with no overhang? I've been searching everywhere for a 26" depth bench since the website has it at 25" deep
I’m also curious about this. What is the “ideal” table size for this printer?

That's awesome!
Solid video. Looking forward to following
But what spray adhesive do you use?
3M 77 it has worked great for me

I appreciate the honesty and I hope I dont have similar problems. As of right now I really like the way this machine works.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Would you consider doing a recap video after 12 months of having it?
I’m excited to see regular video updates about this product. You’re so inspirational! Have you considered teaching online courses on this stuff?
Great video coach!
Thanks!
more french drain pleas.
Coming this spring your requests may happen lol.
Black Friday shopping but goated video
Thanks!
Yeah, they want $1,250 more than you're billing it for in your commentary. Uh, no.
The way XTool worded their sale is not great. Should just say $250 off.
Nah. Spend a little more and get a Thunder Bolt.
Time will tell I guess
👎👎👎
I appreciate the watch though
You just sold your soul for a machine…..
