XTOOL S1. First ever enclosed 40W diode laser. Unboxing, first impression review. XTOOL new laser.

[@joer2013]

Skylar, I’ve been woodworking for many years now. I’ve learned from many woodworkers. I think you are one of the best teachers! I am seriously considering buying the xtool s1 based on your reviews and demonstrations. Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for your honest enthusiasm!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Awww, thank you Joe.

[@joer2013]

What software do you use to run the laser?

[@gloriagonzales8731]

Thumbs up just for climbing that table 😂 when we want something done we make it happen ❤

[@ralphpezda6523]

Some time ago I wanted to make clean gutters happen, the ladder fell over with me on it, and I fractured my right elbow through the joint.

[@norm5785]

Looks like a very capable laser machine. Bery nice work.. thank you for sharing your awesome new laser. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[@killercam923]

So what do we do with the railings?

[@timbutler3733]

This was a really good video, thanks

[@LaszloBagi]

Would like to see how well it works using Lightburn to drive it

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

It works really well with Lightburn but there’s a couple of functions that do not work with Lyburn like the two point positioning and the engraving on curve surfaces

[@I-LOVE-EARTH]

Nice job on the review, but the 2-point system only works for square and rectangular wood. It would not help with odd-shapes or re-using previously used material with space left over for small projects, it would be beyond inefficient to have to do 2-points calculations over and over. If 2-point is so accurate and better than cameras, why didn't they use this same system in the P2? Because it isn't, 2-point positioning every single cut is incredibly inefficient, they should of included a camera.

[@bobdrawbaugh4207]

You are correct a camera would be better. But, the S1 is half the price of the P1. This would give the beginner a cheaper entry point for what seems like a full featured machine.

Hi Skyler, Love all your presentations. Would this be suitable for someone who knows nothing about lasers but wishes to start, that’s me. Regards Paul Ireland 🇮🇪

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Absolutely yes. In fact I never knew anything about lasers until a few months ago and I am not computer savvy at all

[@PaulMarlmountWoodcrafts]

@@woodworkingwithSkyler Thank you Skyler for your encouraging words. Likewise I know nothing about lasers and I am not at all computer savvy. I have a sculpfun half assembled but hate the idea of constructing an enclosure for it. I love the idea of the all in one enclosure and laser which I understand is safe. Keep us newbie woodworkers inspired. Regards, Paul

[@Black-Elmo.....]

Hello again can you tell me the overall dimensions of this machine please?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

30 in long, 22 wide, 7 hight

[@ralphpezda6523]

I would have carefully cut the box away from the tool, or set the box on the ground and lifted it out.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thought about that but didn’t want to damage the box just in case there was something wrong with the laser and needed to send it back

[@flashwashington2735]

My what a big box you have grandma. My what a big enclosed laser you have grandma. My what a powerful laser grandma! The better to engrave you, my little Red Rosewood Board. z long as no alcohol is consumed on the table climbing it Is good.

[@jamesbrasseaux133]

Great video.

[@owenauer3406]

cut the sides of the box down.

[@groverearp2600]

Did anyone else push pause at 0:05 ?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Oh, Grover!

[@GroundedFlyboy737]

No, why?

[@teresa6775]

I think there's an age requirement for a youtube account.
