The 800W model requires a 200–240V, 15A or higher circuit (MAX 3000W draw). Standard 120V household outlets are not sufficient. For US\/Canada customers, NEMA-50P or NEMA-30P plugs are provided.

The 800W Starter handles up to 4mm stainless steel and 8mm carbon steel burr-free. The 800W has a built-in wire feeder and is slightly more compact; the 1200W includes a separate wire feeder unit and a longer 5m cable. For most small workshops, the 800W is sufficient. Choose the 1200W if you regularly work with thicker stock or run high-volume production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the CNC cutter included with the laser welder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe laser welder and CNC cutter are available individually or as a bundle.

The proprietary SaveGas™ system reduces gas consumption by up to 50% versus traditional setups, achieving burr-free cuts in 4mm stainless at just 87 PSI. This translates to meaningfully lower ongoing operating costs compared to conventional fiber laser equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the MetalFab require ventilation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes. Metal fumes and particulates are generated during laser welding and cutting. xTool recommends ducting to the outdoors or using a certified air filtration\/purifier system. This applies to all laser welding and cutting equipment regardless of manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is The Maker's Chest's return policy on the MetalFab?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe offer a 75-day return window — one of the most generous in the industry for equipment at this price point.

The laser delivers stable output throughout that lifespan. Full warranty coverage is backed by both The Maker's Chest and xTool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the MetalFab cut non-metal materials?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe CNC cutter is optimized for metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, titanium, and galvanized sheet. It is not recommended for highly reflective metals (copper, silver, uncoated brass) in engraving mode. It is not designed for wood, acrylic, or other non-metal materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MetalFab certified and safe to use in a shop environment?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes. The xTool MetalFab is CE, FCC, and FDA certified and carries a Class 4 laser safety classification. It includes 10 layered safety features, including a contact-activated emission prevention system. Appropriate laser safety eyewear rated for the 1080nm wavelength is required during operation. The machine has also been cataloged in MIT's Center for Bits \u0026amp; Atoms research inventory, validating its performance and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"xTool","offers":[{"title":"800W Laser Welder","offer_id":56432406888614,"sku":null,"price":4399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1200W Laser Welder","offer_id":56422197264550,"sku":null,"price":7699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1200W Laser Welder + CNC Cutter","offer_id":56422209650854,"sku":null,"price":14999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1200W All-in-One-Bundle","offer_id":56422209683622,"sku":null,"price":17249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0051\/6833\/2890\/files\/xTool_MetalFab_Laser_Welder.jpg?v=1777366216","url":"https:\/\/themakerschest.com\/products\/xtool-metalfab-laser-welder","provider":"The Maker's Chest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
