Video number 2 is in the works and we will dive into deep engraving and embossing. ✅

[@xXs3renityXx]

Willing to share the order details for those keychain ? Would like to make a few.

[@arnoldg3076]

The Seam line was pretty obvious at the end of the tumbler engrave. Did you or have the option to set the split size like on Lightburn?

[@gunzollis]

@@arnoldg3076 I noticed that too. So, evidently, Lightburn does have that option? If so, can the seam be virtually unnoticeable?

[@Ex3quias]

Really hoping to see this promised vid, as it'll depend on whether or not I'm going to invest in this machine. :D

[@gunzollis]

Wow!!! Finally...I have found a reviewer who shares some not-so-good with the good. Thank you Justin. This is very helpful. Hopefully, xTool will work out the kinks you pointed out. My bet says they will. I'm looking forward to the #2.

[@Fancylooks]

The detail of the engraving is clean, crisp, beautiful, as well as surrounding curved surfaces, the hotel keychain, Wow, that second pass!

[@mikeguidry49]

Awesome video, as always. Love your methodical matter of fact way of presenting them. Keep it up.

[@cliffgeter1105]

Great review...we have all been waiting impatiently for a review and not another sales pitch...I have my deposit in...I will watch a few more reviews before I decide to pull the trigger...How 'bout dem' Phillies!!! Go Braves!!!

[@justinlaser]

The right move have to make sure its a good choice for you. Im going to be watching the other videos too Ive just been testing in silo up until now Im interested in what others are doing. Haha lost 9 in a row but were back in action!!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you for clarifying the reference to IR in the video. Very helpful video!

[@justinlaser]

Thanks for watching Marilyn!

[@pacsconsultant1271]

Thanks for posting right after the Live event. I grabbed this unit. I didn't opt for the conveyor - thinking I won't be doing batch jobs. I didn't consider the conveyor feature to engrave on longer items, so I may have to get it later. I'm a big fan of your content, and I'm local in South Jersey. Looking forward to more F1 Ultra content !!

[@justinlaser]

Thanks! I just got my conveyor delivered I had no idea it could be used for long items either Im glad I watched the livestream. Im learning what it can do the same as everyone else haha. Where in SJ?

Oh wow. Wife's family lives there small world!

[@akraftingalley]

Love this machine and the small footprint! Hopefully, one day, I can buy one. Thanks for the video.

[@GroundedConceptsLLC]

Love your channel, bro. Non stop great information. Thank you!

[@bamboorevolution6131]

Thanx Justin- I’m mainly interested wood engraving. Curious what the realistic speed is to get a quality photo engraved on wood. I really appreciate your videos and insights. For some reason it resonates with me more than all the other channels

[@peteraziz5521]

Great informal video. Thank you for taking your time and sharing 👍🏼

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Great stuff Justin. You saying your Boss laser should be paying rent for how much space it takes up got me 😂

[@justinlaser]

Lol I cant wait for my Redline to get here and reclaim some floorspace

[@blackoutgaming3456]

Thank you for the very detailed and informative video!

[@ALXSHARPEN]

Nice to see you got this out on the day they are starting full payment

[@DaveYoutube-qc3qy]

Hey Justin, great video. I am interested in laser engraving contact information on golf clubs and or softball bats and wonder if you could provide some advice on which laser setup might make sense for that.

[@terryh5677]

I enjoyed your review. And was humored your saying your Boss laser should be paying rent for how much space it takes up. Very funny and true. lol

[@iftibashir]

How do you know where to set the power and speed for each material you use??

[@cubansli3099]

Great Video, The machine seems very nice

[@terryclair2914]

Great review!

[@bsimmons00]

So at 8:45 did you have two copies of that image stacked and thus two different settings/passes? I believe that's what you explained later in the video showing the Grand Canyon coin but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something because I've been looking for a way to do this in XCS for a while.

[@checkshirtjoinery5372]

Loved the video thank you. On your no.1 issue, can you set the material thickness 4mm thicker in the settings to do that?

[@zeeshanrahman3383]

Anyidea How long does the Laser tubes going to last ? Because xtool doesnt mention work hours of the tube like i had purchased metal tube galvo machine back in 2018 the company had assured 12000 hours of run time of the laser tube

[@SubhalakshmiKanakavel]

Hi, thanks a lot for the review. What Laser will you suggest for the first-time user planning to start a small craft business

[@BORICUACHANNEL]

Thanks for the video, 20 watt's ain't enough for metal engraving Il Skip on ultra

[@SquidsCareToo]

He literally engraved metal though 😂

[@owdoco5657]

Help! Got Xtool F1 ultra. When I Frame on a product the framing is in the correct position. But the finished lettering has moved below the framing box. Any help would be appreciated

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

Fun! I may have to check this one out - what about venting/filtration?

[@alisoneardley3849]

really informative thanks! What are your opinions on engraving sapphire casebook crystals on watches? We were going to go with the F1 and now I'm not sure whether to go for that or the ultra

[@studiobudal7235]

Very helpful video, thank you! How loud is the machine? I live in an apartment, the ceilings are high but I am worried it will be too loud.

[@АнтонГъдов-с9ц]

Hello, Justin Laser I watched your video and thank you for the useful information. But nowhere did you mention how much electricity the laser consumes and if it is worth working with it. What is the cost per job?

[@RhodesHandmade]

Hey, thanks for this video! I've been waiting for something to come out! I make custom patches for hats. I currently have the S1 40w and F1. What is your opinion on engraving and cutting leatherette in bulk with the F1 ultra? Thanks in advance! 😊

[@guy7622]

Is this something where you HAVE to have a dedicated space to use it? Would it be okay to use in a small 3rd bedroom in my house that's used as a "studio."

[@mikepullen-nx2rk]

Great video thanx. I noticed that you were running at 50-200 speed, rather slow relative to the 10000 capability. Have you found that the quality isn’t acceptable at the high speeds?

[@justinlaser]

For the brass I think I might have inserted the wrong screenshot but I was mostly experimenting "lower" to see how deep I could go in one pass. Going to crank that up for the embossing feature and testing metals. I havent gone much over 3000/s yet but Im sure its doable.

[@jackiedavies3751]

Great video, thank you. I have already ordered the Ultra, expecting it in about 3 weeks. I plan on being mobile with the machine, besides buying a ton of protective eyewear, how far back would I need to ask people to stand, is there a shield I can place in front of it? such as a kitchen stove splatter guard made of Aluminium. Thanks again.

[@jojo9608]

Please could you advise. I engrave adonised alluminium and stainless steel which I have to spray first..it's really just a hobby..could you recommend an affordable engraving machine. Thank you

[@georgepilch8396]

What kind of clutch is on that rotary device? Seeems to be an auto release device ??

[@gear_ant]

Got one. Need to find glasses that go over my prescription glasses

[@justinlaser]

Nice! Seems like a good product idea if that doesnt already exist.

[@SP-ny1fk]

The Overlook Hotel sounds difficult to find.

[@cliffart7398]

I really want to see how it handles 2d engraving on brass coins. I currently have a 60watt CO2 laser but like the galvo and portability of this laser.

[@dblmw1234]

Need to emboss logos on large slab table tops - I need to be portable. Do you recommend the F1 or F1 Ultra. This year we'll do a few hundred table tops.

[@thenightninja13]

So laser wavelength of the F1 Ultra is 455 and 1064 I think the glasses you have linked only go up to 450. Just trying to understand the safety part because I am new to lasers, is that still safe?

[@beamituplaserworks]

Is there a flood fill option like in Lightburn? It could save a ton of time on engraves that are mostly empty like that Key Tag.

[@bernardthongvanh5613]

do you think I could engrave text into rocks? feldspar, quartzite and such, 0.2mm depth

[@omerk6676]

What’s the website u showed with all the blank jewelry?

[@jenmarkosian8720]

Wondering the same thing! Justin, what website would you recommend for high quality blank jewelry? I want it to last for a very long time for customers. Seeing as how most that are having personalized jewelry done are wanting it to be a lifetime memory.

[@samdreyer2438]

Great video, really helping my buying decision. This would be my second laser in addition to a GF Pro. Do you recommend having separate air purifiers or can you run two lasers off one large air purifier? I have a BOFA AD 350 which takes up a good amount of space so I’d ideally like to do a Y connector and run both off the one air unit (likely not running at the same time just both connected). Any suggestions?

[@coreyok123]

If you already have a GF pro, then I would skip the F1 Ultra and get a higher powered fiber 30w-50w

[@sharonkeaulana9232]

do you recommend a laser cutter for larger wood cutouts

[@bearparts]

Would this be good for cutting out and embossing leather goods?

[@valentingomez2193]

Does this laser cut wood,metal,foam?

[@robhunt5852]

How long did the fully wrapped tumbler take?

[@mpark0]

Is there a conveyor belt for this one like the F1?

[@benjaminsanchez1031]

Does the rotary piece come with machine 🤔

[@breedib]

Does it support lightburn?

[@justinlaser]

They said it will have "standard" feature capability as well as rotary. Cant use the fancy stuff like autofocus and curved surface detection.

[@danielbarnett6859]

Yea wean I got my f1 I did not know about the cap an thought the engraver was broken. 🤪

[@elfocker]

Can it cut acrylic? And or engrave? Real new to lasers and really thinking of getting this one.

[@theodorequakins2636]

Lol, i got an ad for the thing while waiting for the video to play

[@richellefiscus9309]

I tried to buy it during the launch. It wouldn't show me the sale price and didn't even have an option to add it to the cart. I even commented on it more than once, and so did others, so they were not even paying attention to people trying to buy it.After the live, it shows the discounted price, but again, no option to put into the cart. I had almost bought the regular f1, but saw this was coming out. So waited. If ingo tonthe regular xtool link, the price is way higher, and the site keeps force closing. Why did I spend my time watching g the launch to get the sale price then not be able to get it? It's making me not want to deal with this company, God forbid there is an issue with the product. Most companies make sure they at least pay attention to the people wanting to buy the products. Is it worth it? I would've to get one for free, but I couldn't even pay for one to get it!

[@andreadingmann6762]

How about leather engraving?

[@kirklovell9164]

Thanks for a very interesting and informative run through this amazing tools capabilities!Fuckin A !

[@Johndebaptist]

Can it engrave Tungsten Rings?

[@cindywhite9754]

I’m new to laser engraving, waiting for my ultra F1 to ship. How do you know the settings for each thing that you engrave? Also, where do you get the files like the seamless Tumblr design thank you.

[@justinlaser]

I think by the time everyone receives their machines the Material Settings that xTool suggests should be released. Those are always the best starting point and they are accessible inside of Creative Space. Outside of that, you have to run a material test to narrow it down. That is a feature in Creative Space as well. I was kind of shooting in the dark for this video since there isnt a lot of information out there right now but I will be using xTool's suggested settings next time. For seamless full wraps I would suggest buying on Etsy or similar platform. I used Midjourney AI to create mine but it was a hassle.

[@jenmarkosian8720]

In what way was it a hassle with midjourney?

[@OMGLaser]

👍👍👍

That new UV laser is looking nice Richard!

Подача материала отлично) сам лазер, ну реально ерунда) прошлый век) упаковали старье и втридорого продажа) плюсы есть, безусловно) за плюсы еще и доплатить нужно) но минусы перечеркивают все) прежде всего 20 вт, ))) да, анодированый алюминий можно) и шире 20см не поставить) имея mopa m6 30вт и линза 100 клише 5х5 см делается 40часов, встроеный второй лазер, удобно, но спорно, что по факту $2500 со2 300х300 30вт + mopa m8 30вт $2500 решение перекрывает как скоростью, так и качеством

[@geraldlamothe6091]

The F1 can do 90% of what was shown in this video...If you are into embossing and deep engravings that take forever the Ultra is for you...If you own already an F1, I suggest you buy a fiber laser for less than what the Ultra costs...KZbin influencers are not paid moneywise but are gifted a free machine in exchange for a positive review,and not an honest review...I would wait before buying a pricey machine like this,wait for someone who will give an honest review...

[@TubeDaLube]

Amazing they do not include safety glasses with a laser in this price range,that is really a downer and shows Xtools view on safety for their customers.The laser looks ok though,but i would personally rather buy a higher power fiber laser at the same or even lower cost.

[@justinlaser]

Yeah if only needing the fiber its something to consider. Prices are pretty decent these days.

[@CNC-Lasercraft]

It‘s a closed system! 🤦🏻

[@TubeDaLube]

@@CNC-Lasercraft Do you think it is closed using a rotary,or even the conveyor ?

[@jorgeluera2731]

How does it do with leather projects , cutting and engraving

[@justinlaser]

Im going to do some leather next thats what Im most comfortable with. It will cut and engrave for sure with 20w blue light. Wallet weight leather should be no problem.
