xTool F1 Ultra

The xTool F1 Ultra is a solid laser engraver with fast speed and precision. Setup was quick with the exception of trying to conect it via my wifi but 5min later and it was connected. It feels well-built and reliable, making it great for both hobby and small business use. You definitely get what you pay for and more (I'm Based in South Africa) There’s a bit of a learning curve with some advanced features, but the online groups and guidlines make it easy to learn and apply as you work on your project. Did this Metal business card within 5min after set-up was done. Overall, a powerful machine with excellent results — still have a lot to learn as I'm new to Laser engraving and cutting but im looking forward to playing around a bit more with all the features the F1 Ultra can provide like embossing and cutting and more

So this makes the 4th Xtool machine I own (D1, S1, F1 and now F1 ultra) great machines all still running. The build quality is superb. The size of the f1 ultra is quite larger than the f1. The F1 ultra is more powerful that the f1 allowing to engrave more stuff. Very easy to use with Xtool own software plenty of videos to teach you how to use if you are new to Xtool. The weight is still portable just not as easy as F1. You do pay more for the ultra but well worth the price with camera and being able to do curved surfaces and deep engravings in metal.

I’m still in awe of the incredible speed of this laser. It’s a stark contrast to the slower lasers I’ve used in the past, like diode and CO2 lasers. Just the speed alone makes the F1 Ultra worth the investment. But that’s not all – the engraving quality is simply amazing. And the camera is truly exceptional. It’s a feature that seems so simple to achieve it’s a game-changer for anyone who’s used other laser engraving systems. With the F1 Ultra, I never have to worry about misaligning my artwork or not even being on the material. It’s been perfect every time. But I guess it’s not so simple if it was why haven’t other companies been able to do the same? It’s incredible how easy and intuitive this machine is. And with fiber lasers, you can project the exact image you’re about to burn onto the material. It’s not just a small square around your work; it’s the actual graphic you’re about to create. I could go on and on about the 3D coins I’ve made with this machine. They’re simply incredible. I’m a huge fan of this company and their products. Last but not least, let’s talk about Xtool. Just two years ago, they were making waves in the laser and DIY market. And now, they’re dominating the competition with their exceptional products. No one comes close to their offerings. Their product range is extensive, and their ease of use is unmatched. And their customer service is second to none.

The F1U has truly exceeded my expectations as a first-time engraver. I was looking for a machine that was simple to use but powerful enough to handle a variety of projects, and the F1U delivered on every front. After using it for about three months and engraving over 500 items, I can confidently say this machine is both user-friendly and consistently produces great results. One of the standout features is the rotary tool—something I never expected to be so seamless. The F1U makes working on curved surfaces incredibly easy, and the results are always flawless. Even as a beginner, the learning curve was minimal, and I know it will continue to serve me well as my client base grows. I use their software, Creative Space, for all my engraving projects, and their recent update for curved surface engraving has been fantastic. This upgrade has made the process even smoother, and I know I’ll be using it even more in the future. Customer support has also been a highlight. When I first received my machine, a screw for the rotary attachment was missing. I contacted customer service and received a prompt response within a day. Just a week later, the part arrived at my doorstep—hassle-free. That level of service is rare these days, and it made a big difference in my experience. Another feature worth mentioning is the regularly updated online library of engraving settings. It was already helpful when I started, and with the frequent updates, it's only getting better. This level of attention to detail enhances the user experience, making the F1U even more enjoyable to work with. In short, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, and I’m already excited about adding their P2S machine to my setup. If you’re on the fence about getting the F1U, take the leap—you won’t regret it and it’s far better than other engravers on the market.

xTool F1 Ultra is an awesome piece of equipment, I’ve been putting it through its paces for a few months now, using both diode and fibre lasers to engrave everything from basic wood, to aluminium, slate, stainless steel and even Brass challenge coin embossing. I can confirm it has not disappointed. The machine itself is incredibly well made. The XTool Creative Space Mobile App and PC Software (both Free) are easy to use and user friendly for experienced creators and beginners alike. The machine can pair wirelessly with devices or is provided cable. I personally prefer the cable for faster transfer speeds.
