The xTool F1 is a compact desktop laser engraver that combines a 10W diode laser and a 2W infrared laser in one head, so it can mark bare metal as well as wood, acrylic and rock. It reaches up to 4000 mm/s and runs from phone, tablet or computer over WiFi, which makes it a fit for pop-up personalization work such as charms and permanent jewelry. Its rivals in this class are mostly single-source diode machines; the F1's second laser and small footprint are its main edge, while its small work area limits larger projects. Owners praise the fast setup and clean metal marks, and note it is loud and best suited to small items.

Owners describe the F1 as quick to set up and easy to run from a phone, and single out its ability to mark bare metal without a coating. The common complaints are the small bed, noise and the need for ventilation.
The xTool F1 is a compact laser engraver for personalizing items such as charms, jewelry, tumblers, watches and keychains. It is small enough to sit on top of a pop-up table and can run from a portable power source.
It has two lasers: an infrared laser and a diode laser. The diode laser is used for wood, leather, glass, rock and paper. The infrared laser is used for all metals and plastics. It can also cut through wood or acrylic. A TURE industrial-grade galvanometer system drives the engraving at up to 4000 mm/s.
You create or edit a design on a smartphone, tablet or computer and send it to the F1 over WiFi. Then place the workpiece, adjust the focus and check the preview to position the design. Press the start button to begin engraving. It can engrave photographs, background designs, logos and initials.
