Thank you so much for this video. I purchased the S1 for my Christmas present and my 80th birthday next month but couldn't find a video how to do the material test. I don't know about lasers but purchased this one because I thought it would be the safes
No problem. You made a great choice with this laser. The software is very easy to use and the laser is very versatile and capable. Ill have more videos on this laser soon.
I came here for the XTOOL, but stayed for the funny and the immature. That XTOOL is sweet. I might have to add that to my Christmas list along with my wife to quit nagging me, winning the Powerball and having hair on my head again.
Its a dji mic. I clip it on my hat so the sound stays consistent. I love that mic set up. I noticed a lot of people are using it now. Little echoey in the shop but still sounds good.
You may want to check out the manufacturer specs on the XTool website. Or ask they’re customer service. Its never a good idea to have a machine like that anywhere that could have condensation or high humidity.
Did you actually buy this, or did Xtool send it to you? Regardless, it's a great device it seems, and I'm still working on getting one myself to replace my glowforge. Edit, guess I could have waited to post lol, no one ever buys their own devices anymore....
They sent it. It is a great machine. Im actually going to be doing a review on their P2 soon. Very comparable to the glowforge. No money is exchanged for the machines they send but its not free. A lot of time goes into these videos, so there is an exchange for time and labor. Thanks for the comment.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Looking forward to it. You actually made me realize that I likely DON'T need the 40w S1, since I have a 40w CO2... so you'll likely save me some money on getting a 20w!
@@RyanNiemer i tried to get a discount code but they said because of the holiday sales they cant. So all i have is an affiliate link. Good luck with your purchase Ryan.
Curious that the laser left a lot of scorching on the wood with the air assist going. I have the xTool M1 and added the air assist to reduce the scorching. Which, it drastically improved. Makes me wonder how good the S1 air assist is or if yours wasn't running correctly perhaps?
Hard to say. The s1 controls the air assist. You can adjust the settings on it in the software too. First time using it so i may need to make some adjustments.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Yea. I would be curious to hear if it makes a difference for you on future engravings. Ive been thinking about upgrading to the S1 but the work I do, I would like clean edges to minimize sanding time and a good strong airflow makes a big impact on that. Thanks for the reply.
It kind of comes in the software. You have to program each section for what power and speed setting you want. Its easy to do. There are some test files out there that other people have shared.
I AM CRACKING UP!!!!!!!!!! Just got my first ever laser engraver for Christmas. Anxiously waiting on the smoke purifier to arrive (this Monday!!!!) Meanwhile, sitting back learning and laughing while watching your video. Thanks for sharing!!!
Not even 60 seconds into the video and I’m already cracking up 😂. After catching my breath, smashed the sub button. Who cares if you’re… ummmm 🤔 whatever they say you are. You are my kind of people. Ok, back to the video 👀.
Dam it Kyle! You're gonna get me in trouble. I don't even have the Langmuir yet and I'm looking up the specs and pricing on this XTool 😂 Another great video and great introduction to this new machine. Looking forward to your journey on this tool. Would Fusion 360 still be a valid program to use for XTool designs?
It is a pretty nice laser. You could still make files in fusion and import them to the xtool software. Its just not a very efficient way to do it. The laser files arent as complex as the plasma table files. In my opinion
I've had 2 different types of lasers for years. There is more and more lasers coming out. These hobby type of lasers you will never make enough money to quit your job unless you have 10 plus lasers running all the time. Cost of power, insurance, and all the rest of the overhead. Hmmmmm. Yes it's a nice little laser for a hobby
I think you're funny (but bruising a nipple is no laughing matter) and this was a very helpful video as I try to decide which XTool to buy and what features I can choose.
Kyle, you ARE funny! But when you explain stuff, it's noted that you do your homework well and keep the information on point. Even though I don't have or want to entertain the thought of a Lazer engraver, you kept my interest. Not trying to blow smoke up your dress but you also have great editing in your videos! Good stuff. ( I can see you're dedicated to perfection!)
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I definitely know bout that! My wife just ....Shoots from the hip! (Hip Shot Harry!) Sometimes it works! Me?.... not so much! Then I'm (Duggy Do over!)
Hey buddy been a while. Finally got my cnc plasma business going and bought one of these too. Xtool P2 and F1 for portability at trade shows. As always, great videos. Hope to collaborate in the future. Much love from Texas
Recent subscriber, love your content and I admit the xtool 20w is a perfect blend of power and precision. I have the D1 pro 20w and am now considering upgrading to this S1
Thanks for all the videos on your….MACHINES. Your “how to” videos are really easy to follow and way less boring then a lot I’ve watched. Excited to see your channel grow!
Looks like a nice little machine. Am I right that the array function automatically created the test card with all the speed and power settings configured automatically?
Unfortunately no. The video that I watched made it look that way but that wasn't the case. The video was getting too long so I didn't get into detail on that. Had to set each square for the array.
Just came across your channel. You are indeed funny. I think had this laser came earlier i may have purchased it over the D1 Pro i went with from them. This is a much cleaner and less of a pita setup it would seem
Just bought the xTool M1 last night. Only reason I didn't get the s1 is because I wanted the razor cutter as well, which the s1 didn't have. Looking forward to it
@SpicerDesignsLLC appreciate it man. Love the videos. You pop up a lot in the search for anything laser engraving. Keep it up, I'll be subbing for sure.
hell yeah dude that's cool congrats! my wife has their p2 with all the accessories and loves it she's been using it almost daily selling stuff for x-mass and cheerleading . i have been trying to get her to make some more mainly shit to sell but.... lol
@SpicerDesignsLLC oh yeah for sure ! I'm hoping in the next few months I'll be able to pull the trigger on a crossfire pro plasma table like you have so I can expand some of the stuff she sells and add to do stuff for myself in my shop .
Ya thats awesome. I have a link in the description. If they end up giving me a discount code i will post that as well. Hopefully save you some money. Im pretty excited about using the S1 more.
I don’t even own a laser tool. Your video popped up in my feed and I decided to watch it….dude ignore the haters that say you aren’t funny. I slept like Sh@t last night and this is the first thing I watched. Cracked me up, yes I know it’s editing and all that but it was a good start to the day with some laughs. So thank you sir. Also nice content on the XTool as well, it peaked my interest into this and some of your other videos as well. Sub’d the channel!
Thats great. I appreciate the nice comments. We like to keep things fun and informative on the channel. Thanks for the sub.. glad you checked out the channel.
Yah know.. back in the day I use to laugh when my Dad would call me to com program his vcr but then, I have to call my Son to come program my DVD and now there is this sorcery! I think i will just drink beer and order stuff from you !
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I would use it to engrave pistol slides and rifle receivers, mostly custom sayings or a person's name. I think that would be a great side hustle for extra cash.
A laser is something that's been on my list to add to the shop. You may have just pushed me from consideration to action. This looks like a really cool machine. I loved the video and can't wait to see you fire up the rotary attachment.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC OK, Kyle. You have an affiliate award coming your way. I bought this bad boy. I also got the 2W infrared with it for etching on metal. In the wise words of Butthead, "This is gonna be cool!" -Mike
I can with my plasma cnc, but not the laser. I have yet to see a desktop laser cut metal but I can't wait till they offer one. It will etch/ engrave the steel though. its works best with coated surfaces.
I wish people that get paid to talk about xtool would tell the truth that some stuff is not replaceable like lasers on the F1 and and not covered under the basic warranty. Tell the truth about the afte-care.
Xtool doesnt pay me. The review was on the S1 not the F1. The S1 is a new model and i just got it so i cant speak on parts and reliability at this point. I understand what your saying. I think your concern is going to be an issue with any machine whether its an engraver or a tractor…anything. As i use this new S1 i will provide an honest review and share any concerns i have. Thats all i can do at this point. Im assuming your comment is more of a general concern than directed at me.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC yes more general. People’s need to really research and tell the truth about xtool. They do have good products until they break. I am posting all over media to state the issue of customer service and lack of true replacement parts for devices.
@@believingintheblood8540 no i keep it. They dont pay me any money. Like i mentioned in the video, there is an exchange. Its not free. I have about 24 hours into that video and more to come. Am i being accused of something here?
@@SpicerDesignsLLC No sir, just trying to understand the relationship. I see a LOT of xtool things and people sometimes forget to share all the details. I appreciate you and all the ones that brought me to xtool, but also i think the service and repair-ability needs to be discussed.
Your videos are nothing but commercials. After two years of a new shop it still looks like a recording studio as none of the other lasers or equipment are anywhere to be seen, and they certainly aren't in productive use. I'm willing to venture a guess that you either ship the equipment back to the manufacturer or sell it soon after publishing the "review" video.
Well you are incorrect. If you watch our other videos you would see the other lasers and all the work im trying to do on our property. Two years? We moved in to our new house with the new shop last April. Not even a year. Get your facts straight before you make an ignorant comment.
Never heard of Bourbon Moth. Im just being myself. Could it be, we may have similar personalities? I now that sounds crazy. Do you typically go out of your way to insult people you dont know?
im not sure if the content is any good since I just couldnt get past the ridiculous attempt at "humor"? you are definitely not a comedian but good luck and wish you the best.
Kyle, looking forward to some great engraving come out of the shop. When you do something you give it 110%. The haters can kiss all our Asses! Thanks for all your ideas and effort.
