Hi Kim and Garrett - A new toy for your arsenal. It looks great and did a great job. I am very impressed with these videos, even though I am just a Cricut Cutter, I like to see what goodies are out there cutting up a storm. Thanks for sharing and continued success. I'm just about ready to start my "bee project." Can't wait. Love PegEgg

Thanks for another great video. I just wish they would ship the ones out that we’ve paid thousands of dollars for rather than continuing to send out the free ones for marketing. I’m also disappointed in the cut area. I understood it to be larger and I’m worried about the charred wood. But I’m excited that it seems to be at least better than the Glowforge which is ridiculously expensive!

That ten seconds wait after finish is to clear out all the smoke before letting you open it. Annoying for ventilated workshops, but nice safety for indoors workshops using filters or window/duct output.

QUESTION: HOW is it possible to get the machine to not photograph the substrate you place in it with perspective? I inserted a small wooden box (about 1/2" thick) onto the slats bed - but the image in the xTool Creative Space software looks "fish-eyed" or with a "depth-of-field"? It makes it difficult to properly align an imported image to be perfectly centered on the substrate - because the on-screen image shows the inner walls of the box - in perspective.

According to their website the difference is between "bed size" (26"×14") and "work/processing area" (23.6''×12.1''). People seem to be mixing those definitions.

We think they're both great, I think it comes down to price. If you can spend a little more, the P2 has so many additional features and accessories that make it a little better. If you want to start with an affordable machine, then the Polar is also a great option, it still has a passthrough, just not automatic, it also comes with 2 rotary tools.
