  • Hey Brandon great video, just a correction to note at 12:40 it does have a door safety switch and you can toggle it off or on inside the settings.
  • $4K is a bit much. Don't hear much positive comments about xTool customer service.
  • @jrulison
    Would like to see you compare this to a standard fiber laser.
  • There’s another machine coming from Xtool soon and I’m excited to see what their multifunctional craft machine is like. I don’t feel I have come across a machine for my craft needs so 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
  • @monportlaser
    Hi @makeorbreakshop , when can you review Monport GI60 laser?
  • @pistonslapuk
    Hey Brandon, what size is the exhaust outlet on the back of the machine please?
  • Had no idea you could do that type of relief on slate! 🤯 Is that using the fiber or blue diode? I just bought a 30w LaserMatic mk2, would love to be able to do something like those reliefs, even if not as deep
  • @rcarroll05
    There is a software toggle in XCS to turn on and off the shield safety. So if the shield is up it will turn the laser off.
  • Interested to hear your take on the Ultra. Also, do you think its worth it for xTool to keep the F1 Prime when the Ultra Exists?
  • @gear_ant
    Can i install an xy bed on the f1 ultra?
  • @Adriel59
    I want to get a co2 laser but am put off by the size for engraving metal cards. would this be a better alternative?
  • @JoelC-pp4zz
    The F1 uses 2watt infrared not a fiber laser only the F1 ultra uses a fiber laser
  • No air assist, then you immediately put the plate on the ultra the wrong way. 🤦
