The 5W IR laser marks stainless steel, gold, silver, platinum and plastics. The 15W diode engraves and cuts wood, leather, MDF, paper and felt, and engraves coated metal and some dark opaque acrylic. Between them, one machine covers the materials most personalized-product businesses actually sell.
The F2 is built around a simple idea: take the workshop to the customer. At roughly 10 pounds it fits on a card table, runs from a standard outlet, and a 50MP smart camera lets you drop a design onto a piece and engrave it while the customer watches. That is why it suits craft fairs, pop-ups, jewelry and tumbler personalization, and side businesses that need to earn from the first weekend.

Every unit from The Maker's Chest includes 75-day returns and US-based support, so you can test it on your own products before you commit.

The infrared source is the metal specialist. It produces vivid color results and deep black marks on stainless steel and other premium metals, and it handles gold, silver and platinum for jewelry work. Because the beam is absorbed by metal and plastics, it makes permanent marks that do not wear off like printed or coated finishes.

The diode laser handles everyday craft and gift materials: it cuts wood, leather, MDF and felt, and engraves paper, coated metal and dark opaque acrylic. If your range mixes a steel keychain, a wooden ornament and a leather patch, you never need to change machines, only the laser in the software.


The 50MP camera gives a live preview of the work area, so you position artwork directly on the piece and waste less material. Autofocus and curved-surface engraving support help on tumblers and irregular shapes, and batch processing keeps repeat jobs moving.

Speed is what turns a hobby laser into a business tool. At up to 6,000 mm/s (236 inches per second), the F2 produces crisp batches quickly, which matters when a customer is waiting at your booth or an order of fifty arrives on Monday. The trade-off is a fixed galvo field of 4.5" x 4.5", extendable to 15.75" x 4.5" with the Slide Extension, so choose it for personalizing and marking rather than large flat-sheet cutting.
The Slide Extension stretches the working area to 15.75" x 4.5" (400 x 115 mm), so you can engrave long items such as rulers, pens, bookmarks and signs or lay out several small pieces in a single pass.
The MagSwap RA3 rotary, included in the Deluxe Bundle, turns cylindrical and ring-shaped items under the beam so artwork wraps evenly around tumblers, pens and rings. Cylindrical personalization carries some of the best margins in the trade, so it is a natural first upgrade.

Engraving metal and wood produces fumes you should not breathe. The Air Purifier Go is a compact unit designed for the F2 that helps reduce smoke and odor at events, pop-ups and small studios, and the Deluxe Bundle includes the xTool Desktop Smoke Purifier. Duct outdoors where you can; filter where you cannot. The F2 is a Class 4 laser with an eye-safe design, so use it as directed and follow xTool's safety guidance.

F2 Standalone: the machine alone, for people who already have extraction or only work at home.
F2 + Air Purifier Go: the best pick for events and shared spaces where fumes matter.
F2 + Slide Extension: best if you make longer items or batch layouts.
F2 Deluxe Bundle: the complete kit with RA3 rotary, Slide Extension and Desktop Smoke Purifier, so you can personalize tumblers, rings and pens from day one.
Refer to the bundle image on each option for the full accessory list shipped with that package.
The xTool F2 is covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty, plus The Maker's Chest 75-day return window and US-based support.
Q: What can the 5W IR laser do that the diode cannot?
A: The infrared laser marks metals and plastics. Its beam is absorbed by stainless steel, gold, silver and platinum, so it makes permanent marks on bare metal without spray or coating, and it can produce color and deep black marks on stainless steel. The diode laser cannot mark bare metal, so if metal jewelry, tags or stainless tumblers are part of your range, the IR source is the reason to buy this machine.
Q: What can the 15W diode do that the IR laser cannot?
A: The diode handles the organic and craft materials: it cuts wood, leather, MDF, paper and felt, and engraves coated metal and some dark opaque acrylic. The two lasers cover different materials, which is why the F2 can run a mixed product line, such as a steel keychain, a wooden ornament and a leather patch, from one machine by switching the laser in the software.
Q: Can it cut metal?
A: No. The F2 marks, colors and engraves metal, but it does not cut it. For thin-sheet metal cutting, look at the F1 Ultra or F2 Ultra, which use fiber lasers, or a dedicated cutter. The F2's diode can cut thin non-metals such as wood, leather and felt.
Q: How big a piece can it handle?
A: The standard galvo field is 4.5" x 4.5" (115 x 115 mm), which suits keychains, tags, rings, pendants, coasters and phone-case-sized pieces. With the Slide Extension it stretches to 15.75" x 4.5", which fits rulers, pens, bookmarks and short signs. Material height goes up to 4.7" (120 mm). It is a personalizing and marking machine, not a large flat-sheet cutter.
Q: Is it really portable?
A: Yes. It weighs about 10.1 lbs (4.6 kg), measures roughly 6.9" x 9.3" x 13.2", and runs from a standard 100 to 120V outlet, so one person can carry it to a craft fair and set it up on a card table. The enclosed body also keeps the laser light contained, which matters when customers are standing close.
Q: Can it engrave tumblers, rings and pens?
A: Yes, with the MagSwap RA3 rotary, which is included in the Deluxe Bundle. The rotary turns cylindrical and ring-shaped items so artwork wraps evenly, and the camera and autofocus help on curved surfaces. Drinkware and rings are some of the higher-margin items a personalization business sells, so most buyers who start with the standalone add the rotary soon after.
Q: Which package should I buy?
A: Standalone if you already have extraction or only work at home. F2 + Air Purifier Go if you will work at events or in a shared space where fumes matter. F2 + Slide Extension if you make long items or want batch layouts. The Deluxe Bundle if you are starting from nothing and want the rotary, Slide Extension and Desktop Smoke Purifier in one purchase. Tell us what you plan to sell and we will recommend one.
Q: How does the F2 compare with the F1 Ultra and F2 Ultra?
A: The F2 is the practical business machine: dual lasers, a camera and speed at a mid price, with marking and coloring on metal. The F2 Ultra adds far more fiber power for deep engraving and metal color marking at a higher price. The F1 Ultra suits users who want a fiber laser with more cutting capability. If you are unsure which fits your products, ask us before you buy.
Q: Do I need ventilation?
A: Yes. Engraving metal, wood and plastics produces fumes, even in an enclosed machine. Duct outdoors where you can. Where you cannot, such as at events or in a small studio, use a purifier: the Air Purifier Go is designed for the F2 and the Deluxe Bundle includes the Desktop Smoke Purifier.
Q: Which software does it use, and is it beginner friendly?
A: The F2 runs on xTool Studio. The 50MP camera shows a live preview of the work area so you place artwork directly on the piece, and autofocus and batch processing reduce setup time on repeat jobs, so you can get a first engraving done without extensive laser experience.
Q: Is the warranty valid if I buy from The Maker's Chest?
A: Yes. We are an authorized xTool dealer, so the 1-year manufacturer warranty is identical to buying direct. Consumables and shipping are excluded. You also get our US-based support alongside xTool's.
Q: What is your return policy?
A: You have 75 days from the ship date to return the F2 in like-new condition for a full refund, less shipping and handling. That gives you time to test it on your own products before you commit.
