what is up welcome back do you like to
do it build it or make it so do we and
we have new videos each week are you
looking to upgrade from a vinyl cutter
or a CNC machine maybe you want to start
a side hustle or a small business well a
desktop laser might be the perfect
solution and the new xtool p2s is a 55 W
desktop CO2 laser when Garrett first
mentioned at lasers and was talking
about getting a laser my first thought
was safety we had four kids in the house
pretty crowded and the last thing I
wanted was to add an element of Danger
first thing that I was thinking about
when I was thinking about getting a
laser was what is the biggest most
powerful laser that Kim would let me
get the xtool p2s has a lot of features
packed into a compact space it has an
onboard air assist it has onboard
exhaust it even has the onboard water
chiller and it's only 40 in wide 25 in
deep and just 11 in tall perfect for any
kind of tabletop surface safety is a big
priority for xtool and some of the
safety features on here will help put
your mind at ease this has if you have
kids in the household it has a automatic
locking lid so if you're in the middle
of a job this lid cannot be opened while
the machine is running I mean not just
kids there's been plenty of times where
I'd forget and try to open it before it
was actually done
it also has an emergency stop button
we've used this a time or two if
something is cutting and you don't want
it to cut and you don't want it to cut
right then and there you can hit that
emergency stop button and it'll stop
what it's doing immediately it has
multiple monitoring systems it's
monitoring the motherboard temperature
the cooling system water levels and more
and if you're new to lasers there's so
many guides and training videos out
there that will help get you started
you'll even have to take a safety
training video before you ever start
using the product and one of the new
features of the p2s is a more efficient
exhaust fan it has a dual layer booster
fans with brushless motor technology
which enhances the exhaust efficiency
with a 14,000 RPM brushless motor
including dual blades one sets pulling
in dust while the other expels it
resulting in exceptional exhaust
performance and improved deficiency by
200% and lastly they're even add-on
accessories they have a fire safety
feature that will Auto detect a flame
and extinguish it with some CO2 gas and
I think that's a pretty cool new feature
let's talk about user experience with
the xtool p2s setup is super easy they
provide you this quick start guide with
photob by photo stepbystep instructions
they even have a little QR code on the
inside you can watch the video and go
through setup step by step calibration
was just as easy they have a video on
how to do it and it was was a breeze and
the user-friendly design makes it super
easy for assembly and accessible for
beginners with helpful guides and
resources you can connect to the machine
using Wi-Fi or USB and another great
thing with the creative space software
which is super userfriendly is you can
use it offline so you do not have to be
connected to the internet to use it the
xtool p2s is also supported by Android
Apple and Windows this desktop laser
comes with its own software it's xtools
creative space 2.0 which is some laser
software that will help you operate your
machine and will also let you do some
basic design work on board the p2s has
two cameras now having a camera was a
big thing for me I thought I was going
to need it for doing alignment I wanted
to do precise placement on my materials
and this machine actually has two
cameras has a camera that will cover
your canvas and give you General
placement you know you're not going to
miss your material but then it has a
closeup View where I can really zoom in
and I could probably write my name on a
grain of rice with the that camera the
close-up camera is actually on the laser
head so it will move to the position
that you're about to cut and be able to
zoom in and get some really tiny
engraving if you need it without that
fish eyeing and because it has those two
cameras it also has autofocus which was
another big thing for me I wanted to be
able to put my material in there and not
have to do all of this manual focusing
so I wanted it to be able to focus on my
material without me doing anything and
this has two forms of focusing again
it'll focus on your canvas or you can
use that same camera that's attached to
the laser head and it'll use lidar some
laser radar to measure the material
precisely and if you're a new laser user
being able to put in different materials
without having to manually measure that
focal height makes things so much easier
you can put in an e/ in piece of birch
move over to a/4 inch piece of acrylic
all the way up to 2.7 in and have it
autofocus the height if you're going to
do some engraving with a larger object a
little bit about the software the xtool
creative space 2.0 it's great for
beginners it accepts the typical file
formats your dxf your SVG PNG jpegs but
one of the best features of the xtool
creative space is the settings they have
a visual settings where you'll be able
to see what your cut or engrave will
look like before you actually attempt it
it'll show you a material test card with
different powers and speeds so that you
know exactly what your engraving will
look like and how deep dark or light you
might potentially want that engraving
another great feature that I love about
creative space is it comes with so many
different built-in designs you can pick
a project know exactly what materials
you should be using exactly what the cut
speed power settings are and you there's
no guesswork and you don't have to to go
find your own artwork there are hundreds
of designs out there submitted by other
users so they already have the materials
that you should use and they already
have the settings built into the project
xtool is really all about safety there
are safety alerts inside the software as
well when you first start to use the
software it's going to prompt you to
take a safety class on how to use your
laser properly it will also alert you if
they thinks you're going to run
something too slow or too hot that may
cause a flame it'll give you a warning
before it'll let you proceed and once
you get past those alerts the preview
panel is great before you start your cut
you can scroll through and see exactly
what your cut path will look like and
how long your job is going to take xtool
also offers online tutorials for All
skill levels great tutorials for new
users but if you're looking to up your
game your laser game and you want to try
something that you've not tried before
you can also find online tutorials
that'll teach you some new tools and new
features of your laser to advance your
skill level exol also has a customer
support team that will help you with any
questions but one of the best features
that I found with the xtool community
are the xtool Facebook groups xtool
offers them there are tons of other
Facebook groups out there if you ever
have a problem or a question or looking
to do something new you can post out
there in those Community forums and ask
your questions and get 20 replies
different ways people have done it and
so you can try what works best for you X
tools really thought about the end user
when it comes to maintenance maintenance
is toolless and very easy xtool provides
routine cleaning and maintenance guides
to ensure longevity efficiency including
air assist maintenance laser calibration
and exhaust some new features of the
xtool p2s are quick release mirrors and
a quick release exhaust fan which makes
maintenance a breeze this fan easily
pops out you can clean it out and pop it
back in as well as the mirrors back to
the speed and power this is a 55 W CO2
laser with a cutting area of
23.6 by 12 now if you're going to use
the pass through it's
23.6 by about 10 ft it also includes
Precision tracking which ensures cuts
are accurate across the entire work
surface and a new feature of the p2s is
the Red Dot pointer when you have to
align your mirrors that red dot pointer
really comes in handy on really no where
that laser beam is landing without
having to pulse it you'll see we've
already talked about the exhaust system
but with the new p2s there's an upgraded
air assist air assist is what's used to
give yourself a clean cut when you're
cutting through materials and the
upgraded air the more air you can push
through that nozzle the cleaner your
cuts are going to be and with the new
p2s there's an improved air assist it's
got the double pump it's got a double
pump air assist so you'll be getting 30%
more air to your cuts and inra graes now
this being a 55 W CO2 laser the material
list that you can use in this thing is
pretty much endless you can cut
materials up to about an inch thick and
you can engrave things up to about 2 and
1/2 in thick the material list is huge
you can do wood you can do solid wood
plywood mdfs you can do acrylic and the
best thing about the CO2 laser is you
can do clear acrylic colored acrylic
frosted acrylic mirrored acrylic you can
just do acrylics glitter acrylic you can
also cut leather or engrave leather
metal you can engrave metal business
cards or metal surfaces you can do metal
tumblers oh right I don't know how I
forgot about tumblers it's my favorite
thing yes you can also use it on other
materials like Fabrics glass card stock
paper one of the great things about the
xtool p2s is this thing will grow with
you so you may be a beginner and you're
starting out with some basic projects
but p2s also offers additional features
that may be more advanced that you'll
want to try in the future like a feature
that you may not use in the beginning
but you'll want to really quickly is the
automatic pass through the p2s will
allow you to cut 23.6 in wide but with
the pass through rail system you can cut
up to 10 ft long so if you want to do
those cool porch leaners like you see us
do a lot that automatic pass through is
going to allow you to do that and it
uses a conveyor system that's automatic
unlike some other lasers that you'll
have to realign it manually or rely on
their software to realign it this is all
one cut at one time using a conveyor it
does make it convenient and as you
become more adventurous and you want to
engrave on more things you want to try
some curv surface engraving the X tool
p2s has advanced curv surface mapping it
uses that laser radar that's on the head
of the laser head it'll create a 3D map
of your surface so it'll raise and lower
the head as it goes across creating a
perfect engrave one of my favorite xtool
accessories is the ra2 pro rotary tool
you can use this 4 inone rotary tool to
do many types of rotary engraving you
can do your tumblers you can do Rings
you can do jewelry lots of different
things you can do baseballs yes you can
do round surfaces like a baseball
because it has different ways it's going
to hold your material not only that you
can use the ra2 pro rotary tool in
multiple machines it will work with the
p2s but but as you grow you might be
wanting the F1 or the F1 Ultra and the
ra2 pro rotary tool will work with those
machines as well another cool feature is
the smartfill technology as you become
more advanced you might be doing
multiple objects that are the same let's
say you're doing a bunch of keychains
you can just lay them out on your bed
without having to create a jig and it
will auto sense where those objects need
to be engraved and will do multiples of
them at one time xtool is always
releasing new versions of creative space
we're now at 2.0 and with 2.0 came
artificial intelligence so if you can't
find an image you don't have an image or
you're not that good at
drawing you can use their AI software to
create an image it will go ahead and
optimize it for Engraving you can import
it right into your canvas and engrave it
without having to do much adjusting at
all we talked about how great creative
space is but another great feature of
the xtool products is it also works with
with another industry leading laser
