The Gadgeteer's xTool S1 review confirmed 13mm/s at 100% power cuts 3mm MDF cleanly in 1 pass with significantly less soot/char than lower-power machines. Air assist is included with the S1 and should always be used for MDF cuts — reduces char and smoke contamination of the lens. Some users report 15mm/s possible with very clean MDF. Use honeycomb table.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

"I was struggling with lining up my NFC business cards. I was able to not only line them up much better but also do multiple cards at once — making that job so much easier."

"Excellent quality. Item as described. Expectations exceeded."

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
