About xTool
Desktop laser cutters and engravers for makers and small Etsy-style businesses are the core product, part of a boom in affordable laser tools that used to require an industrial budget. xTool sells direct-to-consumer online, competing with Glowforge in a space where hobbyists and small manufacturers overlap heavily.
The lineup runs from entry-level diode lasers to higher-powered machines for cutting wood, leather, and acrylic, plus the materials and add-on modules that keep a laser cutter running. Because these are precision machines people actually put to work, xTool tracks usage (like laser cycles) as part of its return terms rather than just elapsed days. The one number worth remembering: after 50 laser uses, a machine is considered used enough that returning it becomes far less favorable, even within the 30-day window.
What they sell
- Desktop diode and CO2 laser cutters
