    Great review! Clear, concise and complete. I appreciate the comparison with other similar units on the market. Thank you!!!! I've been researching for a few months to decide what laser to buy from my shop. I was debating between the P1 and D1 Pro before they announced the S1. The S1 is a much better fit for my needs and the IR module gives me the flexibility to do some small jobs on materials that I need without investing in a separate fiber laser. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on the D1 Pro + IR a few weeks back. Will be ordering one ASAP while we have Black Friday sale pricing.

    Engraving on different materials demands specific settings and techniques to achieve the best results. Do you have a particular material and design in mind for your engraving? Sharing those details can help me offer more precise advice on the subject.

    @@MellowpineLasers Hi, I only want to know if the detail quality of engraving with the 40W is as good as it would be with the 20 W or 10 W or 2W. Furthermore: can one reduce the power with the 40W to a lower power, getting more detailed and accurate engravings?

  • @MellowpineLasers

    @MellowpineLasers

    9 ай бұрын

    The detail quality of engraving depends on the spot size of the laser. Generally, the higher the power of a diode laser, the larger is the spot size, which leads to loss of detail in intricate engravings. Unlike CO2 lasers, where you can swap the focusing lens to get a tighter spot size, diode lasers have a fixed focus. So, you can control the power output of a diode laser, but the spot size will remain the same. xTool S1 has a spot size of 0.08 x 0.06 mm (20W) and 0.08 x 0.10 mm (40W), which is comparatively smaller than most diode lasers with similar power output.

    @@MellowpineLaserswhat would be the advantage of simultaneous buying an infrared 2W (?) laser? Would that be the ultimate solution for fine detailed engraving and would that laser also be useable on the S1?

  • @MellowpineLasers

    @MellowpineLasers

    Diode lasers are not suitable for engraving on reflective metals or transparent plastics, that's were the Infrared module provides an advantage. The 2W IR module can be used to engrave on metals or plastics. So, if your requirement involves engraving a variety of materials with occasional engraving on metals, then it is advised to get the xTool S1 with the IR module. Yes, the IR module that comes as an upgrade for S1 is useable with S1. You have to swap the laser head to use the desired laser module.

    cant believe you guys recommend ABS as a material. it is dangerous to cur or engrave ABS due to the cyanide gas emitted and it will damage the laser as it melts more than cuts.

  • @MellowpineLasers

    @MellowpineLasers

    9 ай бұрын

    You are absolutely correct! ABS does emit cyanide gas when burned. Therefore, laser cutting ABS is not advised. However, laser engraving ABS at high speed and low power using an IR laser oxidizes the surface and causes a color change without melting the material. When executed correctly, this approach does not produce any harmful fumes. But safety always comes first, so it's essential to ensure proper ventilation and safety precautions when working with ABS. We appreciate you highlighting this important fact that we missed out in our video. Thank you.

    Hi, This is not a CO2 later this is a diode laser and is available in 20W,40W, and 2W infrared configurations. It costs around INR 1,80,000 + shipping and import duties.
