xTool F2 ULTRA, MOPA Color Laser Engraving Examples, Discussion, and Review!
The xTool F2 Ultra is the latest and greatest MOPA laser on the market. Let’s have a real and honest discussion about MOPA color engraving on stainless steel with this machine. Is it easy? Is it repeatable? Is it fast?
I’m here to answer your questions about the xTool F2 Ultra before you click the button below to order one for yourself, this video covers everything you need to know!

The F2 Ultra has both a 60W MOPA fiber laser and a 40W blue diode laser. This combination is a world first! However, if you want to save some money, xTool offers the F2 Ultra in the fiber laser only variant.
📦 In a future video I will cover the entire unboxing experience as well as a thorough setup and getting started guide. I also have a specific video coming up using the xTool F2 Ultra with the RA2 rotary attachment for tumblers.
🎨 Color tests on stainless steel:
In this video I put the xTool F2 Ultra to the test on multiple grades of stainless steel to try and achieve a range of vibrant colors. In some cases I succeed but there are a lot of settings and parameters to consider and try and control.
Achieving consistent results can be challenging and I discuss some strategies to try and get repeatable colors.
