xTool F2

best-lasercutter.com recommends the xTool F2 for users who prioritize speed, portability, and reliable metal marking in a compact machine. Its dual-laser setup (15W diode + 5W IR) and galvo system enable very fast, accurate engraving, making it ideal for events, jewelry work, product branding, and small-batch personalization. The built-in camera and autofocus simplify alignment and batch workflows, reducing setup time. However, the limited work area, lack of air assist for clean wood cutting, and dependence on xTool Studio instead of LightBurn should be considered. If your focus is engraving small items rather than large cutting jobs, the F2 delivers standout performance in its class.
