There is no doubt that the xTool S1 is capable of high-quality cutting and engraving. During testing it performed well with a range of materials, however, the lack of a camera and reliance on manual positioning let it down. If you’re looking to cut single pieces of material at a time then there’s no reason why the xTool S1 wouldn’t be an asset to you, but if you intend to engrave large batches of items then a laser engraver with an integral camera would likely be better suited.
