Would the pass thru feature also cut? I want to cut acrylic up to 24” wide and 40” length

[@CorneliusCreations]

Hey there. Yes the pass through feature does cut as well.

[@Parkhead_workshop]

I was considering buying a larger more industrial style machine, but I might switch to this instead; if the treadmill extension is as good as I hope. I'd like to know of any limitations with that; can it work in conjunction with the active z height adjustment? For example to engrave a skateboard, which is long but also curved?

[@t.g.7700]

Great video! I’m sold. What is the max width you can pass through the conveyor feeder?

[@marlagibson8430]

Do you think the roller/extension you used for your long board would work for fabric? One issue with laser cutting fabric is that the air-assist blows the cut and semi-cut pieces in the laser’s path and ruins your cuts. You tightened the rollers on the board which made me think perhaps it would help with fabric if it goes down that much since fabric is so thin.

[@Babyfasty]

Do you use laser safety glasses when the machine is elevated? Are they included in the box?

[@craigkeller6083]

Is it easy to take the conveyor on and off as needed?

[@craigkeller6083]

for the max conveyor use do you have to buy more tracks? Also will track be needed to come out the back side of the P2 as well?

[@neilrisley6667]

Just curious what the max thickness wood you've cut with the P2 and what kind of wood was that. I'm wondering if it could cut through 1/2" or 3/4" inch pine in a single pass or how many passes it might take. Thanks for the video.

[@kimhoward6124]

Just received this laser and the directions say to add "purified" water. You mentioned you used "distilled" water. Purified to me means filtered which could still have metals which distilled has all of that removed. Kind of confused now which I should really use.

[@redzbass6254]

Can you compare P2 to Thunderbolt?

[@pooch83]

Dude it's like X2 listened to allllllllllll the complaints from gloeforge owners and fixed what glow forges refuses to do. Now does X2 offer individual replacement parts for sale, when pieces start to fail and the owners want to fix it themselves??. GF tells its customers to send their old machine back, pay 1600 plus (after paying $7k for their first one) and get a refurbished one that's "like" new.

Hey Brandon, I believe you will need a riser base for this. I will check as soon as I am able too for you though.

[@andresvitela]

Could you use the pass through function with the conveyor 39" kit and some some third party rollers for longer material? I have not seen anyone try this. That way I wouldn't have to spend more on the extension kits to cut up to 118" material.

[@CorneliusCreations]

It should probably work.

[@babbagebrassworks4278]

Interesting to see Acacia cutting boards over there. They and Bamboo cutting boards are popular here in Oz. Great practice material for my 3018 router with 2.5W laser. This look like a serious improvement for CO2 lasers. Most of the momentum has been in Diode lasers, till now? This is an affordable production machine for small shops.

[@CorneliusCreations]

As far as the features go, a lot of people who aren't "techy" can enjoy laser engraving without tinkering around finally. Its super easy to use and a lot of fun!

@@CorneliusCreations thanks. I just realized I didn’t ask the correct question. I wanted to know what’s the max diameter it’ll cut. I’d like to cut 24” circles.

[@ulaB]

26x14" is the overall bed size, the engraving size itself is smaller with just 23.5x12" in Laser Flat and only 19,625x9.75" in Open Plane mode. Can you use the camera preview to align objects while using the conveyor addon?

[@CorneliusCreations]

Good catch! And yes, the preview camera does work in conveyor mode.

[@ulaB]

@@CorneliusCreations I am thinking about getting this one as my first "at home, not at makerspace" laser and really like it's features. But their marketing only telling you a "bed size" instead of a working area or showing fake dog tag engraving in their videos makes me a little cautious. :-/

[@CorneliusCreations]

@@ulaB A fake dog tag engraving? I haven't saw that. hmm. I need to update a note in the video on the processing area. xTool's website does clearly state "The processing area is 23.6''×12.1''.

I would say Do your research and do what will be best for you my friend. I hope this helps!)

[@Curb_of_Art]

Is it worth buying the riser? Can’t I just prop it up? Sorry if that seems like a stupid question

[@CorneliusCreations]

You can prop it up... But the riser is so much easier to use. I leave the P2 on the riser.

[@famousstars801]

can this cut denim, and other fabrics?

[@CorneliusCreations]

You have to be very careful with fabric cutting. I’d honestly be scared to cut anything like that.

I'm new and still researching these laser machines...the gweike pro boasts on their site to ingrave on slanted surfaces...I know that isn't exactly curved but would the xtool be able to do that because I figure curved is more complex than slanted. Next question....I see the gweike does 3d laser engraving with wood and the xtool doesn't. Not that big of a deal to me....I'm just looking for the one that's most versitle, and you have to keep your consumers interested in what services you offer to keep them coming back. Not that I don't like wood projects, but from what I've seen, the market is saturated with people doing wood. Not that I wouldn't love to do wood but with everyone doing it you would have to be very creative and a dang good salesman to rise above everyone else doing it. I guess I just need a multi use one to help it pay for itself and not be stuck with a huge expensive dust collecting paper weight. Should someone start with a cheaper laser to get the hang of things before diving into something like this or no? Thanks for your help

[@CorneliusCreations]

Hey Man! 1) This will engrave slanted surfaces with the curved function in Creative Space. 2) I'm not sure what you mean by 3d laser engraving? This one does everything the Co2 Gweike Cloud does. 3) If you aren't sure if you will use this I'd most definitely get the diode unit since it would be cheaper.

Other than the ability to do longer runs, it brings nothing new to CO2 lasers, except a much higher price tag than more CO2 laser cutter/engravers. Even without the long run optional accessory, it's still waaay overpriced to comparable units.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Hey Christopher, Thank you for your comment. I would like to kindly disagree with you. Most everyone is comparing this to the larger 300lbs units. This is made for the desktop market. Someones needs may call for a higher power laser, but there will be different pro's and con's for each ones needs.

[@hangupanddrive]

@@CorneliusCreations I'm not sure I would consider it "made for the desktop market". How many people have desks with that much clearance around the front and rear for running long cuts of materials through it. The engraver is pretty huge for a desktop model, taking up darn near the entire desk.

[@darkpharoah100]

But I think to @CorneliusCreations point, this laser was made to compete against the glowforge, muse, and other desktop laser brands. When you compare the spec sheets between desktop models, this holds more features and for many people was only sub 4k. Compared to GF whose price tag will set you back 8k but lacks certain features like ability to work with a laser attachment

If you are looking at pricing and power, then yes, others are more powerful within the same price range. Some people look at the practicality of space, weight, and features that this laser offers verses a more powerful unit. Sometimes people want the Ferrari others want the Mercedes G Wagon.
