We have upgraded our xTool D1 Laser engraver.

The xTool is one of the better open frame laser engravers/cutters. We bought the xTool D1 10 Watt 455nm laser and is pretty awesome as it is. But just after we purchased it, xTool bought out the Pro version and if we had know this we would have waited and got the pro version with the 20 Watt Diode Laser as well as a few other nice things like the rail stop switches etc.

While we don’t have a large format vinyl cutter (though we are considering getting one our issue is were does it live while we are operating out of a small office at home.)

We purchased the xTool D1 10W Laser Engraver & Cutter All-in-One Bundle with “Rotary RA02 Pro roller"  and comes with the “Air Assist,” and “Honey Comb Base” as well as extra trial pieces to engrave to get you started and get your appetite and creative juices flowing.

We have a vast array of tools and gear we use, from Nighthawks basement workshop full of tools to Xaria's craftroom full of sewing equipment to the office full of crafting stuff including the D1 Laser and a couple of vinyl cutters.

We write this small article purely because we get asked quite a lot of times what we use.

Hi, and welcome to our corner of the interwebs… Most of our friends call us by our nicknames "Xaria" & "Nighthawk" but our real names are "Paula" and "Dale" we do answer to both.
