Xlaserlab Laser Welders

Xlaserlab laser welders have become one of the most talked-about machines in the handheld laser welding space — driven by honest, hands-on reviews from fabricators and hobbyists who consistently highlight the weld quality on stainless steel, ease of use, and the genuine portability of the air-cooled design. The Xlaserlab X1 and X1 Pro represent two distinct points on the capability spectrum: the X1 is a lightweight 13 kg diode laser welder optimized for precision work on material as thin as 0.2mm, while the X1 Pro is a 700W fiber laser 3-in-1 machine that welds, cuts, and cleans material from 0.5mm to 3mm without a water chiller. Both machines run on pre-configured parameters, include an auto wire feeder, and ship as complete, ready-to-weld systems.

At The Maker's Chest, we are authorized Xlaserlab dealers and one of the few resellers who can give you technical guidance on both machines before you buy — including which model is right for your specific metals, thickness range, and use case. We have evaluated these machines in depth and can answer the questions that matter: joint fit-up requirements, shielding gas selection, aluminum settings, safety equipment, and setup for 110V or 220V workshops. Browse the Xlaserlab lineup below, and book a free pre-purchase consultation if you want a straight recommendation before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the Xlaserlab X1 Pro actually do beyond welding?

The X1 Pro combines welding, cutting, and laser cleaning in one handheld unit, using the fiber laser to burn off oxides, paint, and coatings right at the weld zone before you start welding. Prepping and welding in the same session removes a separate grinding or sandblasting step that a standalone welder would still require, which is especially useful on rusted or painted automotive and fabrication repairs. Switching between modes is just a settings change rather than a tool swap, so one operator can prep, weld, and clean up a joint without reaching for a second machine.

What thickness of metal can the Xlaserlab X1 Pro weld and cut?

The X1 Pro welds stainless and carbon steel up to 3mm thick and aluminum up to 1.8mm, and its cuts run tighter and cleaner than a standard plasma cutter with far less heat distortion. The tighter kerf and reduced heat distortion matter most on thin sheet metal, where plasma cutting tends to warp the material. That distortion difference is the main reason fabricators switch to laser cutting for cosmetic or thin-gauge work, since a warped edge on plasma-cut sheet metal often needs extra grinding to true up.

Does the Xlaserlab X1 Pro need special power or a 220V outlet?

No, the X1 Pro runs on a standard 120-volt power supply, so it doesn't require the specialized electrical setup that many industrial laser welders need. Many comparable fiber laser welders need a 220V circuit and dedicated wiring, which can mean an electrician visit before the machine can even be plugged in. Running on standard household power is what makes it practical for a home shop rather than a dedicated industrial space, without any electrical upgrades needed.
