I get clean cuts on 3 mm basswood with one pass at 100% power and 7mm / sec speed. Then I bought the 20 watt laser head and everything improved dramatically. I purchased first the XTool D1 with the 10 watt laser and had many problems cutting through even 3 mm Basswood plywood. XTool and the D1 Pro product line are definite winners! I haven't cutout any stencils yet, but expect that to work out well as all the engraving looks great! The xTool D1 Pro is an excellent choice for a laser engraver/cutter. Overall, I'm very please with the D1 Pro and customer service from xTool staff.

The RA2 adapter works well and I've successfully engraved several wireless microphones using the D1 Pro on the RA2. For hobby and crafts use one may want to explore other more complex options. Creative Space is fairly easy to learn and for marking/engraving use is really all one needs. The freebie control application software "xTool Creative Space" installation is simple on Windows based computers and runs well. All necessary tools for assembly are included and easy to read instructions booklet. The D1 Pro's are well built units, and pretty easy to assemble.

One is setup for making stencils only, which we use for marking our road case exterior with company logo and contact information as well as case contents which facilitates an organized setup and truck loading. I liked the initial setup so well I ordered a second D1 Pro. I ordered the dual laser setup with both Blue and IR lasers as well as the RA2 rotary device as we have microphones that needed engraving.Īfter a bit of a learning curve on do's and don'ts as well as learning material properties things are going well. After a bit of online research, it was determined the xTool D1 Pro would be a good option.

Faced with a need to put identification markings on a couple of hundred items in a Sound & Light + DJ service business the laser was decided to be the best option.
