F1 Ultra

The xTool F1 Ultra is priced at approximately $1,799, between the xTool F1 (~$999, 2W IR + 10W diode) and the F2 Ultra (~$3,500, 60W MOPA). The jump from 2W to 20W fiber enables deep metal engraving and cutting of brass up to 0.4mm, stainless steel up to 0.3mm, and aluminum up to 0.2mm—operations not possible with low-power IR sources. The 20W diode module adds cutting capability on wood up to 15mm and acrylic up to 12mm, eliminating the need for a second machine. The ideal user profile is a lab or small business customizing jewelry and promotional metal items that operates multiple hours per day; those working exclusively with organic materials may want to consider lower-cost pure diode lasers.
