Happy with the F2 . Capable of high quality engravings . Build quality is excellent. Perfect little all rounder .

Great bit of kit really easy to setup and works like a dream full automatically. Does a great job extracting everything and keeps the air in the house nice and free from fumes and smells.

The F2 is a power house, and the perfect companion to any workshop. It’s working area may be appear small, but the versatility and extension / slide have allowed me to do so many projects already. Only had it a few weeks and very easy to use straight out the box. Very happy with my purchase indeed.

I started doing Laser work with a 60Wat Chinese Ebay laser in 2019, back then, there were no plug and play lasers. I got this one, plugged it in, and it just worked. The very first thing it has you do is engrave a business card and it looks GREAT! One caveat though, if you are going to do a test grid, don't do it on the base, use the riser. I Warholed the base plate with a photo of my father in law, so I will Always see him laughing at me when I use it.

I have just received my F2 Ultra UV machine, earlier than expected.
Setup was very simple and just completed my first test (through the tutorial).

I am very impressed with how easy it was to setup and calibrate and the speed of the machine. I am looking forward to using it for all the different materials especially leather, glass and wood for deep engraving.

The xTool F2 is a game-changer for anyone needing professional-grade engraving in a portable, lightning-fast package. Its dual-laser system and high-resolution camera make personalizing small items like jewelry and leather nearly instant and incredibly precise. While the small work area is a trade-off, it is the perfect "money-maker" for craft fairs or retail counters where speed and safety are your top priorities.

I bought this machine with intensions of doing jewellery only but wow, the limit to what this machine is capable of is insane and full of endless opportunities to create personal and professional pieces. I am so happy that I took this leap to invest!

Love the new UV laser. So many possibilities from glass to plastic to k9 crystal

I didn't even know I needed this until I had it. The versatile material.... I haven't had to turn anything away. And now my normal things like leatherette is cleaner and my co2 laser can focus on what I need for it.

After roughly three weeks of near-daily use, the xTool F2 Ultra UV laser has proven itself to be a serious precision tool—especially for glass, crystal, coated materials, and fine-detail work. This unit was purchased outright and is used in a real side-business production environment, alongside an xTool P2S CO₂ and xTool F1 Ultra fiber/diode laser.

Unboxing & Setup:
Packaging is outstanding—arguably best-in-class. The machine arrived perfectly aligned with zero shipping damage. From opening the box to the first successful engraving took about 30 minutes. Setup was intuitive, logical, and everything expected (including tools) was included.

Build Quality & Design:
The F2 Ultra feels substantial and refined, bordering on full professional-grade. The enclosure is excellent, the vertical sliding door is smooth, and there is no vibration during operation. It is also exceptionally quiet, noticeably more so than other lasers in the shop.

UV Laser Performance:
The machine uses a true 355 nm UV laser with an extremely small micron-level spot size. That tiny beam delivers exceptional detail, though it does mean slower engraving speeds and more passes to cover large areas. Consistency across the usable engraving field is excellent, with no banding or uneven fill observed. The effective engraving area follows a circular pattern rather than covering the entire rectangular bed.

Materials & Results:
I tested various materials including soda-lime glass, K5 crystal (surface engraving), coated metals, wood, and PU leatherette, mostly using default presets. Results have been consistently excellent.

A standout surprise was PU leatherette, which engraved and cut with zero soot or staining—something not achieved with other lasers in this shop. Glass engraving is where this machine truly shines.

Software Experience:
All work was done using xTool Studio. The software is stable, intuitive, and easy to transition into—even for users familiar with LightBurn. Material presets are solid starting points, and the camera alignment system is exceptional, allowing materials to be removed and reinserted with perfect re-alignment. Beginners should have no trouble learning it.

Accuracy & Production Use:
Results are highly repeatable, making the F2 Ultra suitable for batch production. It does not drift or lose focus over time. The bed includes precise screw locations for jigs, which hold alignment perfectly. The machine is currently used for paid customer work with complete confidence.

Maintenance & Noise:
The F2 Ultra is extremely quiet, produces minimal odor, and requires only basic cleaning. Fan removal for cleaning is simple, and no maintenance beyond routine care has been required so far.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths:
-Exceptional glass and crystal engraving
-Extreme detail and consistency
-Clean PU leather engraving and cutting
-Excellent build quality and enclosure

Limitations:
-Not designed for deep metal engraving (inherent to UV lasers)
-Slower large-area coverage due to fine spot size

Final Verdict:
If choosing only one laser, this would be right up there with a CO₂ system—and choosing between them would be tough. For anyone working with glass, awards, crystal, or PU leather patches, the xTool F2 Ultra UV is an outstanding tool.

One-sentence summary: “The Glass Master.”
Recommendation: Without hesitation.

Gramps’ rule applies here: Use the right tool for the job—and this one knows its job.

Does what it says on the tin and great price too

This is great for processing items which normally would cause issues due to curves etc. it’s easy to set up and comes with different attachments for dealing with various objects. It works well with the Xtool software.

This really improves the extraction of smoke and other bits from engraving and embossing. In my set up I have a long run of exhaust pipe and even with this length this product makes sure everything is sucked out from the F1 and taken away outside. I also like that I automatically starts and stops with the F1 and alters its power based on the material you are using. Would highly recommend.

Bought this to add my logo to woodwork items but has been brilliant for gifts and all sorts

love my S1, have used it non-stop since getting it 2 weeks ago! it's an awesome machine, very little setup! if your a hobby maker i would recommend grabbing right away!
