Tired of struggling to cut all colors of acrylic with your diode laser? It might be time to upgrade to a CO2! In this xTool P2S review, I’ll share why I think it’s one of the best CO2 lasers on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve done a lot of laser reviews on my blog<\/a>, but almost all of them have been diode lasers. I get constant questions about what sort of laser can cut clear acrylic, because a diode laser cannot<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer? A CO2 laser. The laser beam itself is a different color than a diode laser (infrared vs. blue) which allows it to cut acrylic colors that a diode laser cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had a Glowforge Pro CO2 laser<\/a> for nearly five years and I’ve used it to cut a lot of acrylic—and I do really like it. But I’ve been wanting to review the xTool P2S because I knew it had more features and capabilities than the Glowforge and I’ve had quite a few folks ask me to review it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I reached out to xTool, who I’ve worked with a lot in the past, and they were kind enough to send me the new xTool P2S<\/a>. This is a slight upgrade over their P2 machine, so the majority of this review will function for both machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today’s post, we’re going to go over the basics of the xTool PS2, including some of the specs, important safety features, and the materials it can cut. I’ll also give you my overall pros and cons and who might be the ideal user for this machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive in to this xTool P2S review!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
