Cutting Patterns and Engraving Steel with xTool's D1 Pro Laser Cutter and Engraver Leather Working

- I've fully embraced lasers into my work, and not just for leathercraft. I've also used them in my scale models. There's so much you can do with them -- if you're open to learning some basic software. Most of my actual design work is done in Adobe Illustrator. This is a paid subscription, but Inkscape is a good free option.
This video is an unboxing and quick demo of xTool's D1 Pro 20W diode laser.
Full disclosure: xTool sent me this machine in exchange for this video. They didn't say I had to give a glowing review of it (I don't do that). They simply asked for whatever video I came up with to be posted before Black Friday. My opinion: It's a good machine and makes quick work of cutting leather, making patterns, and engraving metal. The only downside is the lack of an enclosure. So when using this or any other laser make sure you have adequate ventilation.
Below are the links to save my viewers a few bucks on purchasing the D1 direct from xTool (use code XTCUT80):

Thank you for these demos and reviews. I'm considering one and I wanted to see them work so badly, and these videos were my only chance.
Glad to help in any way I can. And thanks for subscribing!
Thank you Road Agent for doing this. I was wanting one and this helped me make my decision. I didn't know they would etich metal
I'm always picking up ideas on how to jig up & deal with alignment issues from the odd shaped stuff you work on.
Thanks for the education!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. I just got my Xtool 20W the other day. I can’t wait to try it out. 😁👍
awesome! Thanks for watching!
Love your work especially your holsters it inspired me to start leather work about three weeks ago keep it up
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful knife. You have done a great work 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Still saving money to get my own laser. I was impressed in how well that knife turned out!
lol. Me too! I was nervous about doing it because if I screwed up, there'd be a lot of grinding and buffing to fix it.
Very informative. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Sweet. Still outa my price range. Maybe one day.
Waiting for your next video
Road Agent.
I have a big boy laser as well but always love your videos lol. If you haven’t put it together yet that rubber sheet is for making the stamp they sent the block and ink pad for. Cant wait to see what you come up with, with this one!
Ah! That makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Very cool
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. I have never messed with this type of equipment. Is it difficult or time consuming to get the pattern loaded?
Loading the pattern to the laser? No. I'm using the wi-fi feature to run the machine. Creating the pattern is a different story.
If a guy were to take his craft to the next level like you have a gift like this one would make any shop much better. I do like the way you have made this high tech stuff work with your leather craft. ( I have a question; Do you still use your Boss machine in your work?)
Thanks! No, I sold my Boss. I just didn't use it anymore since I purchased my Cobra 26
👍👍👌👌
Thanks for watching!
What do you use for ventilation? Do you just depend on being in a garage vs. indoor space?
I'm in my garage with the door open and a box fan running. If I'm working with any material that may produce fumes (like acrylic or chrome tan leather) I add a respirator.
Very cool. Now, that's what I can cut my teeth on, and the price is right. The wife said I could get it for Christmas
right on! Thanks for watching!
Can you cut 12 ounces of veg tan leather?
with the laser? Sure. Can cut through 1/2" hardwood.
Thanks I appreciate !
