The XTool S1 40W Laser Cutter EngraverDark Horse Workshop2024-08-23 | The XTool S1 has been out for about a year now, and I was sent one of their models to review. It's precision is unmatched so far in the diode market, and how it does that without a camera is impressive.

The WeCreat Vision Laser Cutter 40W ReviewDark Horse Workshop2024-07-02 | The WeCreat Vision Laser is ideal for beginners. The easy of use and polish of this laser put into the Vision surpass any other laser I've reviewed. I'm thrilled to have one in my shop; it's one of my favorite Diode lasers on the market. Is it perfect? No. The Vision has a few issues that I'd love to see them tackle, but I haven't found a perfect laser yet.
With auto leveling, an integrated camera and a simple plug and play out of the box setup, you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes. With this new 40W version I think it hits a pretty great sweet spot for Leathercrafters. I've always said 20W is about the minimum I'd want for a Laser Cutter / Engraver, and 40 watts does everything I need it to do since I'm cutting heavy 16 ounce leather at times.
Access 1,000 ready-to-make projects and achieve fine details with a max speed of 600mm/s and 0.01mm accuracy.

This video is just to make sure you're set up for success. This leather armor project was a lot of fun, but I didn't get a chance to film the full build video. I wanted to give people some notes and a preview of what they can do with this latest leather cuirass pattern. I go over some of the finer details of the build, and set you up for success when you choose to build it. Though I made this leather armor with SCA combat in mind, the Cuirass is obviously also a great choice for costumes and cosplay.

WeCreat sent me their Fume Extractor to test, and in short it does a great job of getting rid of the smoke and fumes created from Laser Cutters. There's always going to be some smell depending on what you're cutting and how much you cut it, but I found the smell of venting out the Window and using this Extractor to be very similar. Most of that smell came from the smell left on the laser cutter and on my projects. Want to help support what I do?
