The xTool F1 Ultra (Fiber) is a 2W fiber laser engraver and works with xTool Studio, xTool Creative Space. This page lists 36 community-tested settings covering speed, power, passes, air assist, and DPI across a range of materials. Always run a test cut on scrap material first: results vary depending on your material batch, focus, and ambient conditions.

The xTool F1 Ultra is the upgraded version of the F1 fiber laser, offering higher peak power and optional UV module. It handles everything the original F1 does (bare metal marking on stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, anodized aluminium) but with faster throughput and improved depth on harder metals. The dual-module option (fiber + UV) lets you mark glass, plastics, and ceramics without any coating, expanding the range of materials you can personalise. Ideal for jewellers, knife-makers, and anyone running production batches on metal.
