Verdict
The F1 is the small, fast option for personalizing finished objects: names on tumblers, logos on keychains, photos on leather patches. The 115 mm square galvo field is the limit. It is not a sheet cutter.
Buy it for
- Engraving small metal and plastic items with the 2 W infrared
- Markets and pop-up stalls where you carry the machine
- Fast batch engraving of small, identical parts
Skip it if
- You want to cut sheets of plywood or acrylic
- Your projects are larger than about 4.5 in square
- You need deep metal engraving (that needs a fiber laser)
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.
