xTool F1 2-in-1 Dual Laser Engraver, Lightning Speed ...

10W blue diode no faster than an xTool D1 as expected but the IR laser was far slower than advertised by xTool in videos and in material settings page.

Brass was an unbearable 5mm/s to get an engraving rather than the advertised 300m/s, that's about 1.6% of the speed.

Bare aluminum sheet (3k, 5k, and 6k series aluminum tested, which cover pretty much every aluminum type/grade one comes across or uses on a given day) was 200mm/s to show a uniform mark only visible at some angles, 100mm/s for a light mark but visible at any angle, and 2mm/s for an engrave which can be felt as a different surface and looks dark enoughy to stand out on the aluminum sheet compared to the advertised 600mm/s on their settings page which had absolutely no effect on bare aluminum and is as low as 0.3% of the advertised speed for an engrave.

Stainless steel (300 or 400 series used in kitchenware and knives) I was able to get an acceptable dark , at some angles, annealing mark at 100mm/s but no engrave even at 2mm/s which is still only 18% of the advertised 550mm/s.

It did work with Lightburn but framing is rendered useless because it just jogs the laser dot once like in a gantry laser, not framing like a galvo as it should so I wouldn't cal it "supported" as there is no successful way of accurately mark on a specific location on a surface like I could with the red crosshair on the D1, it turns the laser dot off once framing is complete making it impossible to adjust a workpiece to accurately frame on a specific location. XCS is far better to use with this unit but if you are used to Lightburn and all of its control and capability both in design (which I personally never use but are very aware of and familiar with) and in laser control settings, you'll find XCS is severly lacking to be a got to software.

I loved my D1 pro and had very high hopes for this, but xTool oversold its capabilities unlike their blue diode machines.
