- Is the xTool S1 laser for you? Let's take a look at how you set up and use this craft laser. I am also comparing it to other lasers in the xTool line up as well as Glowforge machines. Use this guide to determine whether this laser is the one you need for your craft room. Laser crafting can be a great addition to your hobby or business but you need to find the right laser for your needs first! The xTool S1 may just be that laser!
This laser was sent to me by xTool, however, all projects and opinions are my own.

Loved this video! Just received my S1 and this video helped me get it set up and ready to use. I am new to a laser tool but your videos are awesome! Thank you for doing what you do!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Great info … noticed you had a little lady bug helping you to set up the cords - lol😊
They are EVERYWHERE right now! I cannot tell you how many I shooed out of the shot! They are actually an Asian lady beetle and not a traditional lady bug. And a huge pain!!
This was the most helpful video I’ve found to help me set up my S1. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Love what you do! So so informative & helpful! Thank you!
This information was very helpful. I appreciate the pros and cons and the comparisons. I am not ready to use a laser at this time but the information will help in the future and I think it is good to know for those that are ready. Thank you Angie. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Great job - informative as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Air assist would help prevent the charring on the cut.
Yep! I wanted to make this video with ZERO extra accessories however.
Air assist should not be considered an extra accessory - it is part of what makes any laser work properly.
Hey I was just wondering if you still planned on making some other videos on the S1 and if you had any ideas for good suppliers for engravable blanks?
Yep! Video coming tomorrow actually using the S1. And I have another one in the works for engraving metal blanks.
I love your videos! Do you have videos for the Glowforge Pro?
I don't - yet! I just sat down and laid out a bit of a plan and I think I will be adding those eventually!
Thank you for a very helpful video🙏🙏
I just purchased s1 10 w, I it’s my first machine . Can it cut gold acrylic mirror?
I have not tried it in this machine. You may have some issues as it is a diode laser. Maybe just get a small piece to try.
Thank you for all the great information! Definitely helpful!!! Have you ever used (or do you plan to use/review) the We Creat Vision?
Maybe in the future. I have content planned out for some other lasers during the first half of the year however.
Do you have a video o the D1 Pro?
I do not.
The Machine turn on only if I connect to the pc?
Nope once you connect to your wifi you don't have to use the cord again.
Technically, you selected each of your objects, not layers as both objects are on the same layer.
Great laser machine, unfortunately it's not designed properly. The lid allows leak of toxic fumes. The fan is extremely weak. The hose doesn't have a support system and any wind may send the fumes back into your workplace.
If you use it in an extremely well ventilated area and, preferably, in an open air workplace, you'd be fine.
I didn't have any issues with the lid leaking. I did notice some issues around the window but that was fixed by using a towel to plug up the window space. After that, everything seemed fine. I am going to add the air filter to this to see what difference that will make.
Love what you do! So so informative & helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
