Highlights:
The xTool S1 basic package comes with the xTool S1 40W or 20W laser, a honeycomb panel, and an air assist feature. It's a Class 1 diode laser known for its high cutting efficiency and capabilities of reaching speeds up to 600mm/s. The device offers precise positioning, camera-assisted engraving, and is equipped to handle curved surface engraving. Additionally, available upgrade accessories further enhance its creative potential.
Which module should I choose - 40W or 20W?
If you are pursuing efficiency and have higher cutting requirements, please choose the 40W option; if you do more engraving jobs and have no demand for efficiency or cutting capabilities, then the 20W is suitable for you. Specifically, the 40W can cut 18mm cherry wood, 15mm dark opaque acrylic, and 0.1mm stainless steel in one pass, while the 20W can cut 10mm cherry wood, 8mm dark opaque acrylic, and 0.04mm stainless steel in one pass. However, the 20W has a smaller laser spot (0.06mm*0.08mm) than the 40W (0.08mm*0.10mm), which means it can produce finer engraving results.
What materials can be engraved or cut?
- Diode Laser Cuttable: Paper, Wood, Leather, MDF, Felt, some dark opaque acrylic
- Diode Laser Engravable: Paper, Wood, Leather, MDF, Stainless steel, Some dark opaque acrylic, Bamboo, Fabric, Dark glass, Ceramic, Jade, Marble, Shale, Cement, Brick, Plated Metal, Painted Metal

Special Notes and Considerations:
What are the differences between 40W, 20W, 10W, and 2W IR?
If you are pursuing efficiency and have higher cutting requirements, please choose the 40W option; if you do more engraving jobs and have no demand for efficiency or cutting capabilities, then the 20W is suitable for you. Specifically, the 40W can cut 18mm cherry wood, 15mm dark opaque acrylic, and 0.1mm stainless steel in one pass, while the 20W can cut 10mm cherry wood, 8mm dark opaque acrylic, and 0.04mm stainless steel in one pass. However, the 20W has a smaller laser spot (0.06mm*0.08mm) than the 40W (0.08mm*0.10mm), which means it can produce finer engraving results.
