• Import images, shapes, text or vectors that you want to engrave or cut into the design space. Use the toolbar options to edit, resize or arrange designs.
• For engraving, use the sidebar to adjust settings like power, speed, lines per inch, engraving mode etc based on the material you are engraving on.
• For cutting, increase power to 100% and lower speed. You may need multiple passes to cut all the way through.
• Do test engraves on scrap materials to dial in the perfect settings. Engraving needs low power but high speed. Cutting needs max power and slower speed.
• Use the Positioning Mode “Laser Spot” option to see where your laser will engrave or cut on the material. Use the crosshairs to align.
• Check for software updates periodically as XTool releases improved versions. Keep firmware up to date on the engraver too.
• Use the Help menus and XTool knowledge base articles if you need assistance with specific features.
