Thanks for the great tour. A couple things to note, the RF laser source is the SPT Laser N-30A according to the label shown in the vid. This is the exact same laser source in the Thunder Bolt. The manufacture power output rating is 30w. I'm not sure if it's even possible to overdrive it all the way up to 38w output like OneLaser advertises, but I don't think I would recommend exceeding the mfg specs.
@@1-Nice-GuyI don’t have the exact link, but the post basically said they tested the output of the laser source themselves and got between 36 and 40 watts of output so they averaged that to 38w. I have no reason to doubt their testing, but for someone like me who is cross shopping this with the Bolt I was thinking I’d be getting 25% additional power with the XRF, when in reality it will be identical.
Is the XRF really using a 38W RF source, the below email from the manufacturer kind of says otherwise. Thanks for your inquiry. This is Michelle from SPT Laser. I am sorry that I don't know this ONE LASER company. If they are telling you they are using our RF, it is possible to be true. As for the 38w, I think it is 30w, sometimes the machine supplier keeps telling customer about the Max. output of the laser. But we normally tell customer the rated power.

Looks like a great machine. The XRF is definitely going on the top of my list of machines to consider. Does onelaser have recommendations for cutting and engraving different materials? I think something onelaser should do is offer a better air pump - have a basic and pro version (higher PSI), along with the existing additional port for an external air compressor. Ability to upgrade from the regular air pump would be a nice option. All I know is this would be an awesome upgrade from my cheap 5w, $225 laser engraver.
@@BeardedBuildsCo I couldnt find a list on their website. I'm looking for one that can do primarily, stone, metal and wood engraving. Thanks for video bro, Subscribed!
Thanks so much for the video! Do you have any idea how the auto focus would work on softer materials (like silicone pencil cases that have some smoosh to them)? Also holy beans that was fast!!
Fantastic start! I'm looking forward to seeing how it can cut various thickness materials, speed and quality. PLEASE explain how you feel about the air assist, and if it produces any air when it's set to off on the individual Lightburn layers. It would be nice if it can produce just a trickle when engraving. Keep producing videos and wowing us.
Trying to decide between this and F1 Ultra. Can this engrave/cut metal? Seems that is the only reason to need to consider the F1 instead of this. Otherwise this may be the best of all worlds??? thanks for the help.
The x series machines are both Co2 machines. They can do metal marking with the assistance of marking sprays. It will not engrave metal to any depth. The F1 Ultra would be a better pic for an all-around machine. But if you’re really wanting to get depth on metal, you would want to look into a higher fiber laser. Let me know if you have other questions.
@@BeardedBuildsCo Thanks for the quick reply. I am looking for an excellent machine that can do most things for home use for now anyway. (isn't everyone) Seems like I might need at least 2 machines.
Co2 and Fiber, currently not that I have seen anywhere. The F1 Ultra is currently is the only one that I know of that is processing Metal and Wood products in one machine.
No where have they said that are made in the USA. It is designed and engineered in the USA, using the Thunder manufacturing based in China to produce the machine. Support and customer service all in USA.
I think most lasers are manufactured internationally except for Epilog. There may be a coupe others out there. USA products are in my opinion, higher priced.

In the forum ONELASER replied the same question: “It’s Air cooled, tested as Min:36.5W，Max:40.2w，Average:38.72W. “

Thanks, looks like a very nice machine. Like the LCD on it as well.. Pretty incredible speeds too 👍🏻

Yes, they do have a list of common materials and settings.

@ stone and wood ✅
Metal you will need to use marking spray or you are looking for a fiber laser.
Would like to see the camera up and running
Thanks so much for the video!

I read a post about how the Bolt has a beam expander and the XRF doesn't have one, sounds pretty technical, what's that about and is it important.
I’m going to do some locational engraving tests around the bed to see if it matters.
@@BeardedBuildsCo that’s very helpful.
Thanks for the video.
Hello thanks for the review, great machine as this with so good potential why does it drive on rubber built not on rail?

@@Adrenaline55 to get the most work done and efficiently…. Yes, two machines would be ideal. A Co2 machine paired with a Fiber for the metal is ideal.
@@BeardedBuildsCo Is there a machine with both? I have only seen Diode and Fiber in 1 machine (F1).
Co2 and Fiber, currently not that I have seen anywhere.
The F1 Ultra is currently is the only one that I know of that is processing Metal and Wood products in one machine.
The movement of the gantry sounds much quieter than the polar, is that the case in real life?
It’s REALLY quiet.
Polar is dirty and slow, I think XTOOL P2 is better than polar, and XRF is better than P2.
I would agree
I was under the impression that these were all made in the USA. The label clearly reads made in china.

Yep like Reolink security cameras (very good) designed and tested in the U.S... built in China
I was under the same impression...
