xTool S1 40W FAQ
How fast does the xTool S1 40W cut 3 mm plywood?
About 8 mm/s. Cutting a 100 × 60 mm part (320 mm of cut) takes roughly 40 s of machine time on the xTool S1 40W.
Can the xTool S1 40W cut clear acrylic?
No. The xTool S1 40W 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 S1 40W bed size?
The xTool S1 40W has a 498 × 319 mm work area (19.6 × 12.6 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 S1 40W?
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 €0.67. Use the calculator to price your own file.
How much does the xTool S1 40W cost?
~€2,000 as of August 2026, for the machine alone. Budget extra for extraction, a decent air assist and material. Street prices move, so treat this as a starting point and check the seller before you quote work on it. Full reasoning in our small-business laser buying guide.
