Customer Reviews
My husband bought me the F2 for Christmas. We have been reading and watching videos galore! We unboxed it last night and within 30 minutes we made our first item! It was so much fun! Today we played with it some more but there is so much to learn as the items you can make are unbelievable!
I had used a CO2 laser about 15 years ago and enjoyed what I was able to create. The F2 and all of the available support has allowed me to create miny personalized items for gifts this year. Although I am still in the early stages of learning, I am eager to find out the potential of this machine. The software is great, it works well with other software I used. The whole package is very user friendly and I am very grateful that I chose this machine
Just received mine! So excited to keep growing my business! And very fast shipping! Had to talk to a rep about my order for small inconvenience, but it was handled very timely!
The xTool F2 has been an absolute game-changer for my engraving business. The speed, precision, and overall performance are on another level. Whether I’m running small custom jobs or larger production runs, the F2 delivers clean, consistent results every single time.
What really stands out is how fast and efficient it is. Jobs that used to take much longer are now completed in a fraction of the time, which has allowed me to take on more work and grow my business faster. The quality is top-tier, and the reliability gives me total confidence day in and day out.
Pairing the F2 with the RA3 rotary took things even further, opening the door to higher-end customization and more product options. After seeing what the F2 and RA3 can do together, I’m already planning to upgrade my xTool D1 next. The performance across the xTool lineup makes it an easy decision to keep investing in their ecosystem.
Since adding the F2, I’ve seen a noticeable increase in business, and it’s quickly become one of the most valuable tools in my shop.
If you’re serious about laser engraving and want a machine that can keep up with real workload demands, the xTool F2 is absolutely worth it.
