Personalize Any Gift With the xTool F1 Laser Engraver

Updated on: Published on:

Personalizing holiday gifts with laser engraving has never been more accessible, and we’re excited to show how easy it can be with the xTool F1. As makers, we know how much a small detail can transform a simple project into something meaningful, whether it’s a custom message, a family name, or a design that reflects your style. Laser engraving brings a level of precision and creativity that feels right at home in any wood shop and fits seamlessly alongside your wood shop tools, allowing you to elevate the projects you’re already building.

The xTool F1 is designed specifically for woodworkers, makers, and DIY enthusiasts, not programmers or technicians. Its compact size, intuitive software, and dual-laser system make engraving approachable even if you’re new to this kind of tool. Whether you're customizing hardwood boxes, adding details to a knife handle, engraving ornaments, or creating labels for your craft woodworking projects, the F1 lets you bring those ideas to life with confidence. The projection preview takes away the guesswork, showing exactly where your design will land before you commit.

This engraver also shines when working with metal, thanks to the infrared laser, giving you options far beyond wood. That means personalized nameplates, metal tags, and creative branding touches can all be made right in your workspace. It’s a compact, portable way to expand what you offer at craft fairs, pop-up markets, or inside your own wood store or maker booth, and it pairs perfectly with the woodworkers supplies you’re already using day to day.

While the F1 isn’t meant to replace a large CO₂ machine, it fills a gap many makers have been looking for—something fast, accurate, and small enough to sit on your bench without rearranging your entire shop. Whether you're creating one special gift or expanding your workflow with new capabilities, the xTool F1 makes personalization fun, fast, and incredibly rewarding. If you've ever wanted to add that signature touch to your work, now is the perfect time to try laser engraving.
