I volunteer at a makerspace where I use the laser cutter to make stencils and rubber stamps. Next to that, I've made storage solutions to fit my needs and other handy tools. So to crafters, I suggest visiting a makerspace near you instead of investing in such a machine yourself.

Thanks for the review. I appreciate it. I was looking at it for my business, mainly for chipboard cuts to incorporate into my projects. I also liked the engraving aspect. 20:10 But not sure it is worth it with the $.

WOW. So many amazing possibilities. Feels like the right product for someone who likes to do a variety of types of projects. Overkill for a paper crafter. Love the sign. And so want to engrave cups now!!! I'm intrigued with making my own puzzle. I wonder how clean the cuts would be? Great balanced review Tiffany!

@IngridBlackburn I agree with you Ingrid...lots of possibilities for someone who wants to get into selling. As Tiffany said you could easily go down a rabbit hole buying all of the extras. As a retiree on a fixed income this is just not possible. Great review Tiffany, thanks! Btw, I have missed you Ingrid! I loved watching you and Tiffany and was happy to see you comment.😊💖

I’ve ordered this and it arrives on Saturday, ive had my Cricut for years and recently started laser cutting. I’m restricted with space at the moment so hoping the XTool M1 will help with that.

Great review. Not for me. Size, cost, not into the makes. But mostly? I wouldn’t use it, just like I didn’t use other machines that I ended up donating. The more I have the less inspired I get. I need to focus more narrowly, not more broadly. But I love seeing all the things!

I really loved your take on this! Most reviews focus very much on available model(s), whereas you address whether any laser cutter will be a good investment for a crafter by example of the xTool M1. I have been sniffing around that particular rabbit hole for about two years now (they are so tempting) and luckily, I really don't have the space for a machine like that, lol! I use my Silhouette Cameo and my die-cutting machines regularly. I love my Big Shot Switch and will nevertheless often just use the generic small hand-operated little brother for ease, so I know myself ... Thanks for the video!

One thing not mentioned in your excellent review is #1 how often is the software updated #2 what is customer service like? I own a very large ( on a stand in the garage) "die cut" machine for cutting vinyl items for my son-in-law's business. NO real instructions on how to use, complicated software which has only been updated twice in 8 years and NO customer service (" sorry, we sold out to a big brand company"). Thank you for encouraging buyers to do their homework before investing in this new pricey tool! Now if you could make die cuts with it...

Thanks Tiffany. Not something for me based on the size of the machine, and the smoke/heat issues and the cost would be another issue. I'm sure there will be many crafters who will appreciate your honesty and your review. Thanks for all you do!

What a cool machine, thank you for the in depth review. look forward to seeing more of your creations. It is way beyond anything Ido or desire to do, but it looks really useful for a business crafter.

Do I have a laser cutter? Yes. Did I watch this whole video? Yes. They are fun and can have huge potential. But I think they are kind of over kill for most people.

Thank you for watching. I do agree it is way too much just to have sitting around to maybe use it a couple times. Someone suggested finding a maker space and trying it out there first which I think would be beneficial to some. What types of things do you like to make with yours?

I mostly make holiday decor and sell at vendor markets. I have also made mixed media elements, memory dex boxes, shadow boxes.
