What materials can the xTool F1 Ultra (Fiber) engrave or cut?

The xTool F1 Ultra (Fiber) has community-tested settings for Coated / Powder Coated Steel, Slate, Aluminum Dog Tag, Black Oxide Stainless Steel, Stainless Steel Knife Blade, Stainless Steel Business Card, Bare Aluminum, Powder Coated Aluminum, and 18 more. Results vary by material batch, focus, and ambient conditions — always test on scrap first.
