Xtool F1 Vs S1: The Ultimate Showdown - Which One Reigns Supreme?

Purchasing a laser engraver is a costly crafting item and the very last thing I want to happen for you is to buy a laser and you not get all the features that you're looking for. Let me help you take out some guess work between the xTool S1 & F1 with this side by side comparison of the two machines!

On the F1, I always use the arrow keys to fine tune the blue rectangle location when framing.

If you use the Polygon framing on the S1 and mark 3 of the 4 corners you will get a more accurate framing

Ok, F1 has live framing. You don’t have to stop, move and frame again any longer. The reason F1 is faster is because it’s a Galvo laser as opposed to a gantry on the S1.

In your opinion if you could only buy one. The S1 (20w + IR), P2, F1 or F1 Ultra which do you feel would help kickstart a business better to offer more options for your clients?

I know eventually I probably need them all but I also don’t earn 6 figures. 😅

Do you like the p2 more than both f1 and s1?

I am confused by the title of your video. Surely it's a comparison of the metal engraving features of these two machines. I was looking for a more concise comparison - that is a comparison of the engraving capabilities and cutting capabilities of the two. I am not sure your review is accurate - it would be foolish to attempt to engrave such a small item on the honeycomb bed. Why not use a different surface that raises the bed up higher, any metal would do it, so the focussing is more precise and as someone else suggests, use the polygon marking feature. That said for something so small the F1 is clearly a better laser. Sorry, but this is not a helpful video at all.
