In this video we are going to get setup and working with the XTOOL P2 to tackle a variety of materials and some interesting projects like laser maps. I will walk you through the unboxing of your new 55W CO2 laser P2, the initial machine setup, and how to get started laser engraving and cutting with the XTool P2.

If you're not a XTool P2 owner yet, you may want to consider their trade-in program that does not require you to send your old machine in! You can even claim the discount on your new machine with proof of purchase of a different branded machine. Check out the details here:

If you're a business owner and looking to add the P2 to your existing set of XTool machines, XTOOL Creative Space 2.0 software now has multi device management. Being able to simultaneously control more than one XTOOL machine with one instance of their software is a huge leap in capability that many XTOOL fans have been waiting for. Also the latest integration of the easy set material library with the interactive test cards will also speed up your workflow and result in less wasted material from failed tests!

The P2 makes quick work of most materials but my favorite thing to do with a CO2 laser is process clear acrylics. I designed and now offer an LED edge lit acrylic stand kit for those of you interested in making similar projects. You can find that here:

In addition to the acrylic edge lit kit, I have also designed and made available alignment clips for the XTOOL P2 as seen in this video:
