This Machine Just Changed Laser Engraving Forever! xTool X1 In-Depth Review
Is the xTool X1 the most advanced laser engraver ever built? In this complete in-depth review and real-world test, I put all four laser sources through their paces: the core 55W CO2 cutter, the 20W Diode Galvo module, the 5W UV laser backpack, and the 60W MOPA fiber laser backpack module.
From cutting thick 18mm thick wood and 26mm acrylic to ultra-fast galvo engraving, 3D internal glass crystal engraving, denim etching, and deep metal relief embossing—find out if this modular “iPhone of lasers” is worth the investment for your maker workshop or small business!
