Verdict
The cheapest way into a real fiber laser from xTool, with a diode in the same box for wood and leather. The fiber marks and engraves metal properly and cuts very thin sheet. If metal is most of your work, the F2 Ultra's 60 W MOPA is the step up.
Buy it for
- Metal tumblers, tags, knives and jewelry
- Shops that sell both wood and metal products
- Fast batch jobs with the optional conveyor
Skip it if
- You only work with wood (a 40 W diode or CO2 cuts thicker for less)
- You want color marking on stainless (that needs MOPA)
- You need a large flat bed for sheets
What it can do, material by material
Based on the laser types it carries. "With coating" means only with marking spray, a coated surface or light marks. Always test on scrap first.
