F2 is a major upgrade over F1.
- Higher laser power: F2 = 15W blue + 5W IR vs F1 = 10W blue + 2W IR
- New high-res camera: Built-in 50MP camera (F1 has none) with autofocusing, precise visual alignment, live preview, one-click auto-fill, and batch processing
- Faster processing: Up to 6000 mm/s (F2) vs up to 4000 mm/s (F1)
- Stronger software features: Curved-surface engraving, relief engraving, batch processing, and autofocus (not available on F1)
For most users—especially business users who want to start earning sooner and enthusiasts who value a smooth experience—F2 is the smarter choice. If you’re a beginner on a tight budget and handy with DIY, F1 remains a solid entry option.
- More power: 15W Diode & 5W IR makes F2 a true all-rounder—confident cutting and engraving on various materials.
- Industry-leading camera: 50MP with high-precision autofocus, visual alignment, and powerful batch features—solving common issues like manual focusing, misalignment, and slow, one-by-one workflows.
- Pro-level speed: Up to 6000 mm/s, combined with higher power, delivers significantly better throughput in real-world batch jobs.
- Stronger, smarter software: Exclusive one-click auto-fill + batch processing, panoramic preview with the Slide Extension, curved-surface engraving, and relief—expanding what you can create while boosting efficiency.
- Complete ecosystem: xTool offers a full suite—from rotary attachments and slide extensions to desktop purifiers—so F2 scales with your needs and stays safer to use.
- Professional support: Global support team, the world’s largest laser-making community, 24-hour ticket response, localized help, rich tutorials, and xTool Care extended warranty.
Yes! Compatible with all F1 accessories—except the Rolling Hard Case. Your previous investment won’t go to waste—F2 integrates seamlessly into your existing xTool ecosystem.
- xTool RA3: Engraves cylindrical or ring-shaped items, up to 120 mm.
- xTool RA2 Pro: Engraves cylindrical or ring-shaped items, up to 120 mm.
- xTool F1 Slide Extension: Expands the workspace to 115 × 400 mm, enabling a conveyor-like effect. Ideal for batch engraving—place multiple items at once, and F2 engraves them in sequence.
- xTool F1 Pedal or Button Switch: Hands-free operation for efficient batch engraving.
- Desktop Air Purifier: Filters smoke and odors to maintain a clean and healthy workspace.
- Desktop Air Purifier Filter: Replacement filter for continuous purification.
Standard area: 115 × 115 mm, ideal for most small items.
Extended area (with Slide Extension): 115 × 400 mm, great for batch runs and long pieces.
Max workpiece height: Up to 120 mm, slightly taller than F1 (about 113 mm).
The 5W IR (1064 nm) laser is designed for metal marking/engraving with crisp detail and depth on most metals, including: stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium alloys, plated metals, anodized aluminum, gold, silver, and platinum.
F2 currently works exclusively with xTool Studio (formerly XCS). It does not support LightBurn at this time.
xTool Studio runs on Windows and macOS, and combines design, layout, parameter settings, and machine control in one beginner-friendly app.
I was completely amazed by how well it handles logo burning on a T-shirt and engraving extremely small RC parts. Awesome machine.
me encanta, es un poco pequeña pero para combinarla con otra de mas tamaño es ideal. Es rapida y muy intuitiva, desde el primer dia estamos a Full con ella y excelente
This is the cleanest laser burn I have ever used. The IR is great on glass and metal biz cards, super sharp, and the diode is really good too. The camera lets you easily line up your work image with no problem. Only been running for 2 days now, but so far I love it
I run a Ray5 20-watt, and the detail is nowhere near as clean as this F2, plus this camera works right on point. My Ray5 is always off a little
I just received my first ever xTool item! And my very first laser engraver of any type!
I absolutely love the Studio software, and the machine was easy to learn and use right out of the box.
The quality of packaging and shipping materials was also great.
The website and manuals have outstanding grammar and vocabulary. (I was expecting to see Asian to English conversion mistakes, but I have not.)
I only have one big suggestion. Since they supply a small pack of different startup materials, it would be nice if xTool included example projects already loaded for each of the example materials supplied. Along with walkthrough for each. They only include the welcome one for a single metal business card.
I am looking forward to years of successful projects with xTool and their machines!
Massive update in user experience compared to the F1. Very easy to use with the expected quality. I didn’t expect the camera update would be so usefull.
