xTool F2 Presale – The Latest Dual-Laser From xTool: What We Know So Far

xTool has officially announced its new F2 fiber laser, and the pre-sale is already live with an attractive launch offer: pay a €20 deposit now and get a €200 discount on the final purchase. As usual with xTool product launches, these are the best prices you’ll see for a while — once the pre-sale ends, it often takes months before similar deals come back. For anyone considering a new laser, this is a good time to jump in.

The xTool F2 fits perfectly between the compact F1 and the powerful F1 Ultra. It’s a portable dual-laser machine featuring a 15 W blue diode laser and a 5 W infrared laser, allowing you to engrave both organic materials (like wood, leather, or acrylic) and metals or plastics in one compact unit. In short, it’s the “sweet spot” in xTool’s growing lineup — more powerful and faster than the F1, but lighter, simpler, and more affordable than the Ultra.

In practical terms, the 15 W diode laser delivers roughly 30–60% faster cutting speed, while the 5 W IR laser provides about 150% more power compared to the F1 — a huge advantage for surface engraving or color marking on stainless steel. The cutting performance has also improved: the F2 can handle up to 15 mm of basswood and 12 mm of colored acrylic, compared to the F1’s 8 mm and 6 mm limits.

A major upgrade is the new 50 MP camera, which offers real-time previews and live positioning directly on the material. The previous F1 could only show an outline of the engraving area, while the F2 gives you a full visual preview — a big leap in usability. The F2 also features a slightly taller engraving height (120 mm) and rotary diameter (120 mm). Despite these upgrades, it’s slightly smaller and lighter than the F1, with the same work area.

Of course, there are still limits. The F2 is not a true deep-engraving metal laser — those impressive “coin engraving” demos you might see online usually require a 50 W+ fiber or MOPA laser. It also can’t engrave glass without coating or cut clear acrylic, both of which remain the territory of CO₂ lasers. Another small drawback: LightBurn is not yet supported. This could change later, but for now, xTool seems focused on its own software, xTool Creative Space.

Aside from that, the F2 feels like a refined evolution of the F1 — faster, smarter, and more capable. With speeds up to 6,000 mm/s, autofocus, an enclosed body, and optional air filtration, it’s clearly designed for creators who work regularly — whether for trade fairs, market booths, or small production runs.

Compared to the F1, users will notice sharper detail on metal, cleaner cuts in wood, and a smoother workflow thanks to improved camera alignment and software integration. It’s less of a revolution and more of a perfectly executed upgrade — the kind of evolution many xTool users were hoping for.

The pre-sale is live now on xTool’s official website. If you value speed, power, and a modern camera system, the F2 is worth considering — especially while the €200 launch discount is still available.
