xTool D1 PRO Cut Test & Review of Air Assist Plus a GIVEAWAY

[@SD-eu7ht]

600 mm per minute not inches. Nice video

[@alieandtheAngels]

I LOVE you Pawpaw... you are my new hero! Keep up the great work... you're making learning about my new X Tool so exciting and easy! Bless You!😘

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching my videos. Congratulations on getting the xTool laser

[@themillerdave]

THANKS my man - I just got my D1 Pro and air assist and was wondering why Makeblock/xTool haven't published any updated documentation regarding the installation of the air assist on the Pro laser module. I came to the same conclusion on the unnecessary steps of the adding the hose guide, and light shield + nozzle replacement, but feel 100% better having my assumptions validated by someone with obviously more experience. You've earned yourself a subscriber - thanks again.

[@carriemyslinski4521]

I love your videos and was wondering if you could touch on how to adjust the height of the laser head and why you should adjust it to a particular height. Thx

[@ghiegomez]

Thank you! You've been very helpful.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

My pleasure

Have you tried a piece of Maple or walnut? I’m curious to see if I can make my own inlay for wood turning

[@stacyhill1022]

Hey There Paw Paw.. So, I have a Onefinity CNC and I'm considering adding a laser to my shop. I can't decide if I should go with the J-Tech 14W laser that will add on to my CNC or if I should go with a 20W xTool.. what's your thought's? I know you have both! I originally thought the J-Tech so I can have a bigger work area but then I watched this video so I don't which way to go.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I have often considered both options also. In the end, I like having two separate machines. The xTool D1 Pro is an outstanding machine. I like having the option of doing two projects at a time.

[@stacyhill1022]

@@PawPawsWorkShop Thanks for your input I really appreciate it. Do you feel there is an advantage with one versus the other?

[@paulbrady2801]

Just watched your vid thinking on getting one of these here in the U.K. one question how do you set your laser depth so it goes through material only and not the honeycomb might be a daft question but never used one before thanks for great vid defo getting the air assist

[@chiefus3536]

I love all your videos you do. Have not missed one. I do have one disappointment. That is with XTool themselves. They seem to be very good and quick with giving machines to youtubers to review, and do their marketing. They also seem to be very smart with using pre-sales money to fund there builds. But they are VERY slow at customer support and delivery/supply of machines to the general public. Going to be months before I even see mine. Purchased through their SMART launch live feed for the PRO series. So would not hold my breath waiting for any free gift.

[@Bogaloo1232]

That’s why I don’t trust them, I’ve seen many experiences like yours around 😔. I ended up going with the Atomstack X20 Pro a couple weeks ago and I’m very happy with the experience, it arrived in only a week (even being a very new machine) and it works great, it’s the same power as this one but cheaper (it includes the air assist pump with the core package).

[@JoeyTheSinic]

Was this the 10w or 20w?

[@soldiersilk65]

Can you do another tile project using the new Pro?? I'm upgrading to the pro. Thank you for all that you do for the community

[@merrillalbury8214]

Was it a 5watt laser.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

No, this is a 20 watt laser

[@kerryyoung7216]

Hi! On the underlayment test you say it's 5mm during the test, but at the end on the board you have it written as 7.5mm. Which is it? Thank you!!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

It actually 5mm. Thanks.

[@kerryyoung7216]

@@PawPawsWorkShop Thank you so much! :)

[@nancyruiz5164]

I just ordered a D1 Pro. If I order an assist would I need the cover box.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The cover is not 100% necessary. It all depends on how you can get the smoke out of your shop or garage

[@WarJakEnterprises]

Hey Paw Paw, I think your videos are awesome, but just wanted to point out that at 5:42 in this video, you said you're setting it at 100 Inches per minute, but you're wrong! If you look at it closely, it reads mm, not inches, so 100mm/min is equivalent to 0.0394in/min!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thanks for catching my error and sharing

[@WarJakEnterprises]

@@PawPawsWorkShop No problem, everyone makes mistakes all the time, just keep up the great work. Your videos taught me how to use my new D1 pro in no time!

[@pamelamarcum3813]

where do they sell the hold down pins?

[@mickeyred]

mm/min everytime. Great video.

[@dtacklind]

Hi Paw Paw; I always enjoy your videos. I have an X-Carve that I haven't assembled yet. When I was looking at Easel I wondered why they called it that name. It then occurred to me could the X-Carve be mounted on a vertical wall at a slant like an easel and still operate? That would save a huge amount of space in my tiny shop. It would be terrific if you made an episode on this subject.

[@kiweekeith]

Thanks a Stack for a Brilliant vidclip, just love watching All that you have to offer, So Super Helpful..... Now Here is One for you .... I am having a LOT of trouble cutting some Light Green Coloured thin Cutting Sheet .... HDPE or could even be UHMDPE .... 0.9mm thick... It is that real cheap Cutting Sheet that you buy at the Supermarkets or Kitchen supplies. It just seems to 'Reweld' itself .... Have tried nearly ever cutting & power setting combination .... Let's see IF You can solve This One ..... :-) :-) :-) Best to Youand Yours from New Zealand

[@davecox900]

What was the Power of the lazer please

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

20 watt laser. Thanks for watching

[@fierceflyer5]

I’d like to see a test of cutting a full circle not from an edge of the material & see how it does.

[@RandomSmith]

Now that you have had it a while, what is the thickest material you have cut?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The thickness I’ve cut so far is about 8mm

[@prepped8551]

I have the 20w D1 Pro and I need to have it at like 2mm per second (4inches per minute) AND do multiple passes on 6mm birch plywood to get a cut. What am I doing wrong??

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The lens may be dirty. Also check the z height to ensure it is correct

[@prepped8551]

@@PawPawsWorkShop appreciate the reply.

[@ArtplusHrApps]

@@prepped8551 You're NOT doing anything wrong! "Paw Paw" is mixing inches and millimeters! When he says "inches per minute" it's really "mm/min"... so 600 ipm is really 600 mm/min!

[@philipershler420]

I may have missed it, were you using the 10 or 20 watt laser?

[@ripper143]

20 watt

[@mysticalaelfheah5475]

Can you try with 3mm MDF??

[@mikek2824]

Is this 5/10-20 watt?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

This is the 20 watt

@@PawPawsWorkShop thank you! I have the 5w

[@gregdherrman]

Inches per minute or mm per minute?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Inches per minute.

[@gregdherrman]

I really like your videos and appreciate your content but went back and rewatched the video and saw settings in mm/min. All of the marketing material from xTool and other reviews show similar results in mm/min. I bought a D1 a couple weeks ago to replace JTech 7w Pro. It is a beast and can’t believe the results from a diode laser.

[@GaryMacKenzie]

Screen @ 5:45 says 100mm per minute ( not inches ) inches = 25 times as fast.

Man I already pre ordered mine back last week so I can't enter the code...

Use the link in the description to order anything you need. You never know. The odds are dependent on how many place an order.

What’s with the 100% power? Are you trying to burn that beauty out? Let’s,see what she can do at 80%.

[@blakewillemsen9925]

Just as a note- You shouldn't really be engraving/cutting on MDF without fume extraction as it also contains formeldahyde, which is terrible to breathe in!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes, you are correct. I’m working on a downdraft system to vent outside. I have pieces of the puzzle so far and it should be a great solution when done

[@st0mper121]

Big fan of you. I have learned a lot from watching you. XTool Will never buy another Xtool product agian. They dont know the products they sell. VERY UNHAPPY with Xtool support. You can ask them pre buy questions to make sure its going to work with your devices. They will lie to you to make the sale. Then tell you its incompatible. Now i did manage to get it to run on my "incompatible" laser. making a new plug. That they would not/ could not make or work. Everything Xtool support has told me was wrong.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

That is disappointing. Have you sent this information to xTool. I will definitely send this information to the support team. They are a small growing company that has prided themselves on a quality innovative product with excellent customer support.

[@st0mper121]

@@PawPawsWorkShop I kinda figured if I could figure out how to get it to run on a 12v system they should be able to do the same. I worked with Xtool support for about 5 days. They wanted to know where i bought it more then how to fix the issue. was fathers day gift. This caused issue. Do not gift Xtool to anyone. unless you gift them the recipt? then you will be on the what looks to be a 2nd support group Tier maybe?
