xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode) FAQ
How fast does the xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode) cut 3 mm plywood?
About 6 mm/s. Cutting a 100 × 60 mm part (320 mm of cut) takes roughly 53 s of machine time on the xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode).
Can the xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode) cut clear acrylic?
No. The xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode) is a diode laser (~450 nm) and passes straight through clear acrylic. It can cut dark, opaque acrylic. Use a CO2 laser for clear acrylic.
What is the xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode) bed size?
The xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode) has a 220 × 220 mm work area (8.7 × 8.7 inches). That is the largest part it can cut in one pass without repositioning the material.
How much does it cost to run the xTool F1 Ultra (20W diode)?
Laser cutting is priced by machine time: cut length ÷ cutting speed × passes = time, then time × hourly rate + setup. At €60/h a 100 × 60 mm plywood part costs about €0.89. Use the calculator to price your own file.
