Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will review the xTool D1 Pro 20W laser engraver. This is the most powerful desktop diode laser engraver that I have reviewed so far. Generally, most desktop engravers come with a 5W or 10W laser module, which is good for engraving but not cutting. I will test it out and see what kind of cutting power we can get from this 20W module.
Besides that, the xTool D1 also has a very nice appearance. The frame is pretty different from those standard 20 by 20 extrusion frames. It also comes with WiFi support, safety features like a frame detector that stops the machine if it catches fire, a gyroscope to stop the machine during unexpected moving or drops during operating, and an air assist nozzle connector that allows you to connect any air pump or an aquarium pump with a standard 3/16” tubing. It uses inductive limit switches on both the X and Y-axis, and there is a lever attached to the laser module for you to adjust the focal length easily. For the motion system, instead of rubber wheels, it uses steel wheels and shafts, which should be more durable. There are eight risers for you to raise the machine when working with taller materials or working with a rotary roller. It also comes with its own xTool Creative space, which is very easy to use.
Everything looks pretty good to me. I would like to thank xTool for sending me this machine to review, and with that, let’s get started.

I would love to be able to say that about all races and people but its not true and my statement is quite notoriously true about Asians and their parents. Your welcome to KZfaq it there is thousands of videos of Asian's acknowledging the fact they are pushed/driven by their parents to be professional and far more mature than what is expected of say a typical middle class white kid is! I am sorry it hurts your feelings but stating facts is not racist.

I just bought the 10w D1 Pro and RA2 rotary tool bundle from MakeBlock on Amazon. This is my 1st laser machine. After figuring out what power and speed to use on the material you’re working with, it is easy to use. I had an issue with the RA2 and Alex from MakeBlock gave me excellent support and kept me notified on what they were doing to correct the problem. I also bought the air assist and honeycomb bed which also comes with a metal plate to put under it to protect your table. I have the extension rails coming that doubles the length of the work area. Thanks for the review.

Excellent review. I especially appreciate the presentation of facts, read in a mature sounding voice. There are too many reviewers (probably twice your age) who are too fast with equally screechy voices or too slow in their presentation speed and sound like they are mumbling requiring me to raise the volume on my KZfaq player. I am excited by these HIGH POWER (20 watt-?) laser modules and wonder if you will ever consider a side by side comparison of the various 20 watt laser modules to each other, independently from their respective machines? Great review, btw!

Nice job! A 20W laser is very dangerous, so it's important to remind people how lethal these can be if appropriate caution isn't taken. Just out of curiosity, have you had any wood catch fire during the engraving process? A suggestion for a future review: review an enclosure for the engraver that contains an internal filter that would eliminate the need to vent to the outdoors.
