xTool D1 Pro Engraving Machine with RA2 Pro, Engraver and Cutter, High Accuracy Engraver Machine, Wood Engraving Machine for Paper, Acrylic, Glass

Absolutely loving this engraver. Bought mainly for engraving so went with the 5W (also because it is much cheaper) and it is fantastic. Just like any engraver you need to experiment a little with the engrave and cutting settings to get the results you want with different surfaces. A friend of mine has the 10W version and although it cuts better the detail in engraving is better on the 5W. This will still cut wood comfortably just be prepared to have to make 5+ passes sometimes. (You can buy 10W, 20W and even a new 40W head from their website though so easy to upgrade in the future)The xTool Creative Space needs paragraph of it's own here. I used this first to get to grips with engraver first and planned to move onto using Lightburn later but the Xtool software is brilliant. Also they updated yesterday and added loads more features (the feature I wanted to use in lightburn) so going to stick with this.Pricewise this is great for the quality of it. It is very sturdy and easy to assemble. (I got it on sale but would happily pay full price for it). You also get a pack of materials you play with so you can play as soon as you set it up.My only negative would be the cable management. As the head moves the excess cable tended to move inward and has touched and moved the material I'm engraving. I did a little bit of playing around with cable ties and was easy to fix.

Easy to assemble. Feels good quality however my laser would not frame, after getting in touch with company they sent me replacement limit switches and cables which resolved my issue.But then my 10w laser stopped working, so I contacted customer services and they were brilliant and resolved the problem for me. Excellent customer care

The media could not be loaded.  I recently had the pleasure of using your laser after purchasing and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with its capabilities. The laser was incredibly efficient and delivered excellent results in a matter of minutes.One of the standout features of the laser is its versatility. It can engrave and cut through various materials, including plywood and leather, with precision and accuracy, making it an invaluable tool for hobbyists and professionals alike.The laser's design is sleek and user-friendly, with intuitive controls that make it easy to operate. Its speed and accuracy make it a game-changer for anyone looking to create intricate designs or cuts with ease.The laser's safety features are also noteworthy. It has a reliable heat detection system that prevents the material from overheating and ensures that the user remains safe throughout the process.Overall, I would highly recommend your laser to anyone looking to engrave and cut materials such as plywood and leather. Its versatility, efficiency, and safety features make it an excellent investment for anyone in the arts, crafts, or design industries. I am thoroughly impressed and would give it a 5-star rating without hesitation.

Really impressed by the quality of this laser and the free xtool software. I bought the 5w model and it’s great for engraving or cutting wood and most acrylic up to 3-4mm thick. Just note that diode lasers like this one will not cut clear, white, or blue acrylic.

Been toying with the idea of a laser cutter / engrave for a long time - Was originally going to spend big on a Glow Forge as I liked the neatness of the overall package, but the cost and feedback from forums put me off and I just kicked the idea down the road until a need arose and I started searching again - Long story short, this turned up yesterday, my 10 year old daughter and I had it assembled in about an hour, and once worked out a few things I have been cutting and engraving today with great results. Probably the 20% of Glow Forge capability I needed for 10% price - Very happy, and the machine is of much higher quality materials than I thought it would be - Time to go build some spring powered cars for the science project..

The machine requires a lot of assembly, though care taken to follow the instructions helps. Some instructions aren't the clearest as there is no text, purely pictorial. However my delivery had a faulty laser module. After some daily communication with their support desk (far East somewhere, so fragmented), a replacement module was sent from their UK office and is working fine. Credit to the support team and a little patience paid off.Included, free, software is basic, though works. May consider a paid upgrade on the software later.
