Setup was a breeze. Attach a vent hose to keep your space free of any residual smoke from the laser cutter.

Setup

The machine is sleek and compact, about the size of a printer. The glass top allows you to monitor your project while cutting.

Design

The xTool M1 machine comes with it's own software, like Design Space. It is not compatible with other software.

Software

The xTool M1 machine does many functions like: scoring, engraving, and cutting. My first project incorporated all three.

Testing

The machine can be used to cut vinyl as well, like these vinyl letters to organize my craft cart.

Testing 2

The xTool M1 machine is pretty affordable when compared to the Glowforge. At $1000 it does the work of both a laser cutter and Cricut machine.

Price

The machine was fairly easy to use which is a plus! The cut quality was great, especially when I added the air assist attachment.
