- Makeblock xTool, has introduced the world's first ever true 40W output, octa-diode (octa-core) laser module for their xTool D1 Pro laser engraving machine. It combines light output from eight separate 5.5W laser diodes into one powerful laser beam which has an optical output power of 40W. I was lucky to get our hands on one to test it and see how well it performs at laser engraving and laser cutting various materials. Watching through this xTool D1 Pro 40W review will enable you to decide if it is worth getting one for yourself.

Very informative thank you for sharing
Thank you for being so diligent and showing us your settings. I have wrote down a few and look forward to receiving my 40w soon.
Awesome! Thanks!
Nice work 👍
Good luck ✌️
Wow, this is so cool ! It changes my mind about diode lasers :)
Only consider the wavelength and power. Don't mind where it comes from. Even there are IR diodes now. Which has much higher life than co2 laser.
Nice bro!
awesome review!
Thanks!
Great review and test run, JT.
You might consider doing the beam focus test with anodized aluminum instead of wood. There's a good possibility that the 40 Watt's wider line is due to peripheral heating of the adjacent wood from the higher thermal flow of the more powerful laser. Wood's insulating properties would tend to allow more localized heat buildup, causing the wood to caramelize. Sufficiently thick aluminum, on the other hand, wouldn't have that same tendency to heat soak.
Your testing discipline is fabulous. (I'm an R&D engineer, so take that as high praise.) I suspect that the thought of inserting a rift into your sample library and its dataset by changing materials mid-stream gives you pause--as well it should. Nevertheless, having the xTools D1 40W beam focus test AND the D1 40W samples in both materials prpvides a bridge--a Rosetta Stone of sorts--between the pre- and post-rift data. I do think the anodized aluminum will give results with fewer process variables and ancillary effects.
Thanks, again, for the excellent shakedown and comparisons. The solid data from your testing makes it much easier to decide to spend the $2k+ on a premium rig and 40W upgrade. Infrared is a game changer, too.
Thank you very much for your reply!
I have considered using anodized aluminum for focus test, but when I started doing my reviews of the 5W machines, they were not powerful enough to mark anodized aluminum from a large distance. This is why I stayed with wood, so it is easy to compare the results. I don't use full power for the focus test, I try to reduce power just enough that the engraving effect is similar.
I am a R&D engineer too, so maybe this is the reason for my tests to be the way they are :) Thanks for your praise, I really appreciate it!
If I will be testing more of machines this powerful, I will start using anodized aluminum and then I will reverse test this machine too. I usually update the blog posts on my website with new data when available.
Can you show I'm your review videos of these laser units, how well they cut & engrave various thicknesses of leather? Many leather uses are looking at these laser machines.
I have cut leather once or twice so far, this machine can cut 5mm leather without problems. 10W struggled with leather this thick.
@@JTMakesIt what many (including me) are wondering is what minimum watt can cut what thickness?
Can you do a similar video with xtool f1
I already did it: czcams.com/video/OpRa6S7aEo4/video.html
Can you show I'm your review videos of these laser units
Nice review! That finger is creepy! Looks like an amputated finger on a stick ;-)
Thanks! Haha its a great accessory for better camera visibility :)
Only a fool would bother cutting thick wood with this.
Get a 10 or 20 watt and a jigsaw.
If you already have a 10 or 20 watt, get a CO2.
Skip this.
Its not meant for cutting this thick, but its a nice way of showing how far have these lasers evolve. Btw toys and letters cut from 18mm spruce or pine board look amazing and great for kids to play with
