I'm a little confused on the rotary attachment. You said it was the RA2 rotary attachment, but when I look on xTool's website, when they show the bundles it looks like the RA2 attachment they show is the one with the chuck to hold the material not the rollers. Is the roller one the one they actually send? I *think* I'd like the chuck one better, but I've never done rotary lasering (yet).

@CorneliusCreations 7 ай бұрын

Hey Chris! So the RA2 pro rotary attachment comes with BOTH the jaw chuck and the rollers. I made a video about a year ago showing it if you’d like to check it out. The picture you see probably is just with the jaw chuck attached.

Before pulling the trigger, you might want to check out the parts and module availability for your D1 Pro. I have been told by a few people they cannot get replacement parts or modules for the D1, only the 40w is available for the D1 Pro, and it has been this way for months, they say. The service life & tech support would be a big consideration for me before investing further in xTool products... even if your D1 Pro is still working fine.

@troublebot 7 ай бұрын

@@sheltoncherry2366 From what I've seen, if you're cutting through the material without using the honeycomb, it will likely mark the floor. For cutting you should definitely use the honeycomb, the thickness of the honeycomb will make it so that when the layer strikes the floor below it (in the gaps), it won't be in focus enough to mark the floor. In another review, the reviewer actually used the laser to draw an alignment pattern on the floor so he could use that for alignment when just engraving.

Hi can I ask a question? Since u have the P2 & in the S1 also which one of the two is the best to purchase? P2 or S1. Can the P2 cut metal? Thank for u’r time responding to my ?, much appreciated. 😊

@CorneliusCreations 7 ай бұрын

Hey there! Great question. The P2 or S1 is not able to cut metal. I would advise you to look at your needs. The best laser is the one that fits your needs, your lifestyle, and the projects you are making. The P2 is a production workhorse and can handle a wide range of material cutting and engraving. The S1 can do the same, but with the option to have the IR module for metal. If you watch my video from 4 weeks ago, I give info that will help you decide :) you won’t go wrong with either one.

I was very interested in the S1 until recently, when I began seeing reports from D1 and D1 Pro owners that replacement parts are no longer available for those machines, and you can no longer purchase modules for them, other than the $1,200 40w module for the D1 Pro. Given the fact that xTool was heavily promoting those machines less than a year ago, this is VERY concerning. In my opinion, a tool or an electronic component at this price-point should have more than 1 or 2 years of support from the manufacturer. I would be outraged if I spent more than $1,000 and was told I own a paper-weight after a year or two. After learning how limited their support is, I have crossed xTool off my list of contenders.
