In today's Triple-T (tools, tips and talk) #162, I'll be reviewing the xTool F1 laser to see if its a good product for knifemakers.

    I’m glad you get the chance to review this stuff. I was going back and forth between the X1, LP4, and an actual fiber laser. The F1 was my first choice based on the other reviews I’ve watched and its overall flexibility. Just needed to know how well it works for knife makers. Thanks Denis!

    I would strongly recommend this one over the LaserPecker. The software for this one doesn’t require internet if you have a computer to hook to it and it’s faster with better options. This one is also cheaper. If you are thinking about attachments, they are much more versatile with the xTool F1. Either will certainly do the job though. Thanks for watching, Richard.

    DPI: assuming dots per inch? The very low settings, say... 1-200, these would be for artists, shading, like a dot matrix realistic picture.

    It’s not quite like that. It’s not dithering the pixels but blocking them out. If you did something like 20 dpi you get a pixelated image. Not the dot-matrix effect. Thanks for watching.
