I am fairly new to this and have had my xTool D1 Pro 20W for a about 4 months now and have managed to get some amazing result already. I have been lacking the ability to do much on metals especially Aluminium and Copper and brass as i wanted to engrave for my family's upcoming wedding next 2024. I love what this can do and will look to invest in around early New Year perhaps this as it does all that I need it to do on metals. Love this video as it was very comprehensive and showed the benefits of using this module on some stuff without having to change the laser heads around which can help with continuity of workflow. Well done JT for producing this video and thanks xTool for another amazing product.

[@theblades3D]

My daughter and I are trying to get our business off the ground and having one of these would really help us realize and create so much more. Thanks for the opportunity!

[@jaytarnoff2709]

My wife has a small business and the xTool has been vital in helping this business thrive! Adding metal engraving with the D1 infrared would expand her business further!

[@warrenjameson5465]

My wife ordered my first Xtool D1 right before she passed away, and it has made my life a little easier doing things she would have wanted me to make. I would Love to be able to engrave items for people grieving as I am. The IR laser is AWESOME, and would be perfect.

[@bleb777]

Hey, with this laser head i could renew and engrave my signs on old chisels and old hand planes which i planning to renovate

[@flmoose1]

When engraving on clear acrylic, was there any need for a coating or backer to be applied/added?

[@jerryborsh8296]

Wow! I can remove the rust from all of my tools that the kids and grandkids have left out in the weather. Metal, plastics and more will be within my reach once I get this new module. I've been able to cut and engrave just about everything else. I hope that I am lucky enough to win one of these. I am retired on a fixed income from Social Security and VA disability which makes every one of these purchases an event. Maybe they would let me do a video when I get it. :) I really love the D1 Pro and RA2 Pro roller/chucked unit which let me expand my engraving capabilities. Xtool keeps raising the bar on these smaller laser machines that are actually affordable and way more solid than the other brands. The thought and great engineering put into every one of their products is impressive.

[@klave8511]

Seems to be a fibre laser packaged in the same format as diodes. It seems to send pulses (if you zoomed in a bit without waving the sample around so much we might be able to see it). Wavelength is right too. No mention of “diode” in the description.

[@JTMakesIt]

You could be right! I need to check.

[@thomasderidder7677]

Cool! I work with brass and this new infrared module would be perfect for engraving fine detail, I will be looking into getting it. Thanks for info.

[@johnbruno8422]

Great Video, I haven't pulled the pin on buying a Diode Laser Machine. Was leaning to buying the 20W X-Tool. Watching all kinds of videos. This is a great video showcasing XTools extended capability.

[@JTMakesIt]

Thanks! You can also check my review of their rotary attachment if you will ever want to engrave some cylinders

[@faitfranco7861]

Very impressive with this new module. I started with XTool 10W, then with 20W, then with Pro, and now you guys kill me with this new module. This XTool is like a drug, i m start being addicted to it. What I really wanted to do is working on transparent acrylic, doing the three sheets RGB engraving to make a 3D color effect. This module would save me a lot of hours doing this what I want to do. Thank you XTool. Faithfully Franco

[@robcarey1971]

I've been enjoying my new Xtool D1 pro and I world love the infrared module for adding detail to the metal bands I put on some of my wood turnings!

[@davidsohlstrom6977]

Being able to laser engrave on metal would be a lot better than how I now have to do it using my CNC milling machine. I have a D1 pro so the swap would be no problem. Dave

[@bigbadv5775]

I have the 20w X-tool and am just learning. I am looking forward to having the infrared unit to increase my capability. Working on a web store. These lasers will help complement my hand made products

[@mndave668]

Love the video! I would like to get the IR Laser to engrave more items for family and I am interested in the rust removing as well. Thanks

[@amdadulhaque4625]

I wanna test what it would be able to engrave sub surface of glass or clear acrylic ⁉️

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

Would love one of these to engrave on metal and remove rust! It would be like having a brand new tool shop :) Thanx for the video and thorough description!

[@jmseguin]

I have a small laser that does fine on thin wood but I was hoping to do metals. The infrared module looks like a fantastic upgrade!

[@visant]

Very intersting review, I got recently an IR and I'm still discovering all the possibilities.

[@ignacioreyes2244]

How do u clean the surface is there a settings for that ??

[@JTMakesIt]

Usually lower power and higher speed. It depends on the material. You try some different power and speed settings and see what works

[@liongame5871]

Can you make a specific video for the focus setting, since I had a lot of hard time to focus ?

[@JTMakesIt]

You need to focus it by flipping that swiveling arm out and lowering the module until the arm touches the surface

[@edwardlynch7874]

My Xtool D1 Pro needs this additional tool. Thanks for the video. It shows me more possibilities exist for transforming my imagination into reality.

[@eddieolachia5305]

do you have any recommended settings so I can test on different materials with this laser? Im new to lasering and would like to know what you think

[@JTMakesIt]

You really need to try to test various settings. Start with medium speed (1500mm/min) and medium power. If not engraved deep enough, increase power or decrease speed. Try different scenarios ( low/high speed combined with various power levels) and see what produces best results. My setting in this video are far from ideal. You need to do a lot of testing to find the best settings for a given material.

[@MarcAndreMenard]

Xtool is the company that innovate, and deliver... WOW my favorite

[@akirasouma7561]

Finally I found a detailed review on the IR laser! Thank you very much for the great review! I would definitely use this to engrave on a aluminium pet tag for my many cats.

[@kapautz]

I would do engraving all different metals. Exploring the benefits of this game changing module will be fun and a big advantage for my business. Thanks a lot for the opportunity to get in touch with this module!

[@Mariosyian4ever]

Metallic business cards are a must with this! Could it also cut very thin metals??

[@alokkapoor9134]

I do not have a laser yet, but if I got 1 then I plan on making EDC knifes for every day carry. Nothing can go wrong with a sharp edge knife.

[@macaronytony]

Great video.. I'd like to use it to try some new jewellery ideas, for marking silver would be the number one. No more stickers that keep falling off.

[@aivkara]

I have a Sculpfun S9, but this unit is just a step above, at least for the kind of work I need to do. I saw an xTool review on Robert Murray Smith's channel about the latest xTool laser (blue). He didn't even talk about the laser module, he was talking about how impressed he was with the build quality from xTool. And I really respect his opinion, he is an accomplished chemical engineer and scientist. Seeing *this* video, however, takes xTool as a company to the next level. And it's the first time I have seen a video from this channel, but I like how he makes honest, matter-of-fact comparisons. He shows what works and what does't work. Nice!

[@JTMakesIt]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it ☺️

[@richardwilson9476]

Wow. That black acrylic was just superb.

[@petercasper224]

The cleaning of rare coins would be an awesome addition! Thanks JT!

[@g-paj5430]

Once I purchase the xTool D1 Pro w/ accessories, I will look at purchasing this Infrared Laser Module. Great review!

[@MrDogass1]

Great product. I currently own both a D1 and D1 Pro as well as a 60 watt CO2. I am very excited about the prospects of engraving aluminum and brass. Keep up the good work!

[@arbella89]

@Doug Taylor I am looking to invest in my first laser. The largest work area possible is important to me as well as being able to cut/engrave wood and clear acrylic. I was thinking of getting the D1 Pro with extended frame, infrared module, enclosure, etc... (basically all the bells and whistles for about $3K. But since you own both the D1 Pro and a 60W... I'd like your opinion. Which route should I go?

[@MrDogass1]

@@arbella89 Great question. A diode laser is not the best for efficient production. It's a great supplement. For your first laser I recommend looking at Thunder laser for a CO2 model that fits your budget and needs. The D1 Pro is a slow and limited cutter.

[@IrfanAli-fb1tv]

Could you engrave a portrait on black granite with sculpfun S9? Show the settings as well.

[@JTMakesIt]

Yes you can. Check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH2oh3ScncSbers

[@IrfanAli-fb1tv]

@@JTMakesIt I tried a portrait but the face is looking plain and the nose is not visible . What do you recommend?

@@IrfanAli-fb1tv you need to adjust the image contrast and other parameters. Search youtube "Lightburn photo engraving"

[@IrfanAli-fb1tv]

@@JTMakesIt ok thank you

[@jimnugent1143]

I would use the infrared to engrave metal (especially aluminum) for some veterans I know to commemorate their service! What a great upgrade for the XTool! I have a D1 20w at present. Thanks!

[@Elievl]

I am ready to start using this awesome laser! I often struggle to cut through harder materials so this is exactly what I need!

[@jamiekitto7778]

I have just purchased a D1 Pro 10W and would like to add the Infrared module for metal etching.

[@DebbieJeanPerezCarving]

Game changer I have been hand wood carving for years my hands have arthritis so this would be fabulous and I could still do what I love to do. Make many things for others!

[@t2pt554]

The new IR module and the Blue ray unit will be a perfect combination for my engraving and cutting work. The higher speeds the new IR laser will up my productivity many times over. The etching that seems to leap up from the surfaces is a game changer!

[@JTMakesIt]

I will test that too :)

[@kemecseikornel]

Fascinating. Having both an infrared and blue laser seems to be be able to engrave almost anything. We are again one step closer to the all in one DIY machine.

[@GarthSebastian]

I am already using AtomStack x20 and now was willing to buy infrared laser, it seems that this is the perfect tool to switch to for commercial use.

[@richardwhitehead829]

Have just ordered my XTool D1 Pro with the infrared. Will now have to learn how to use it. From Barbados

[@riksteen4933]

Can this also create pcb. Copper Circuit boards.

[@JTMakesIt]

Can be used for engraving design before etching

[@tinkeringcyclist9314]

I reclaim bike parts, I just got a D1 10w Pro to mark the Stainless parts, but it would be nice to do on aluminum as well!

[@gmolanoart2996]

so the ir laser is for engraving only not cutting ?

[@JTMakesIt]

Yes. And primarily for metals and plastics

[@scouserbychoice]

I'm new to laser engraving and this one would make christmas so much easier with making things for family and friends.

[@johnbirkel7626]

Can it cut acrylic too?

[@JTMakesIt]

@@johnbirkel7626 regular blue laser can cut acrylics but you need a CO2 laser for cutting white and transparent acrylic

[@josephsmith601]

Is the Infrared module compatible with the 5w Xtool???

[@JTMakesIt]

It probably does. You need to select the module for the D1 or the D1 Pro, depending on your machine. With the module you get a power supply, so it should work also with the 5W version.

[@danielwidmann7835]

Thanks for the great review. I am really impressed with the results on acrylic. That would be ideal for engraving front panels.

[@taothaelasutt90]

Hi, does the original laser module 20W be able to engrave silver?

[@JTMakesIt]

I am not sure, but I think that it can't. The only metal you can engrave is stainless steel with the blue laser.

[@taothaelasutt90]

@@JTMakesIt Thank you so much. I will get it soon and try but look like I might need an INFRARED Laser Module, as you said. >

This is amazing! Game changer for sure. Could take my D1 Pro to the next level.

[@flyingbastards1220]

We need this laser as badly as you need the winter slopes! Btw did you try to cut ice cubes? I would love to see you cut perfect 90 degrees ice cubes.

[@jamesrobison1361]

This is an awesome product. Already own the 10w and 20w and looking to add more to my arsenal. So many options of engraving metals that I currently don't have. So many projects, so little time.

Being able to engrave in copper and brass would be fantastic. This way I could customize some itens, and evolve into a new business area. It's definitly an excellent upgrade. Thanks for the video.

You tilt the attachment so that the beam can reach the inside of the ring. I did this in my review if the Commarker B4

[@oferliber3d]

I'm only 3d printing for now but starting to feel I'd like to work with wood engraving and cutting. I have this idea to create frames for pictures, puzzles for my nephews, little animal figures for them and hopefully through this, to be able to offer it online.

This would be a great addition especially for the black acrylic. That looks amazing.

[@Jim_One-wl4ke]

Wow! That’s awesome. I have a Sculpfun S10, maybe can get one of this to attach to the Sculpfun to do metal engraving. Btw does it cut anything? How long does this laser last? Lifespan? Thanks ❤

[@dc540_nova]

I can see a lot of useful things to do with this. I'm engraving with blue diode right now, so there are a lot of materials I can't work with at all. I'm curious about whether this can go deeper with things like acrylic and actually cut rather than surface-engrave.

[@animehotgamer0143]

What setting have on test clear acrilic!

[@JTMakesIt]

Try full power and 600mm/min and then adjust the settings according to the results. If engraving is too much, reduce power, otherwise reduce speed.

[@francispoulizac8879]

Really goog news for hobby makers. If I had one, I would try it for engraving PCB if even it's possible.

[@agentjay4494]

tbh its super hard to get consistent burns. I have been playing around with metal sheets like copper, brass etc and always get a blank area due to just settle height changes in the material or board itself.

[@JTMakesIt]

Never experienced that. But I have not tried many curved/wavy objects except that ceramic cup in the video. This laser has shorter focus length and should be focused very precisely.
