By [Laser Engravers Guide Editorial Team](https://laserengraversguide.com/about/) · Updated October 30, 2026 · [How we score](https://laserengraversguide.com/how-we-research/) Our score comes from manufacturer specs, professional reviews, and owner reports. It is not a hands-on lab test. ## The verdict The F2 Ultra is the best metal engraver in this guide: a 60 W MOPA that color-marks and deep-engraves, a 40 W diode for everything else, accurate cameras and solid software. Tom's Hardware and TechRadar both rate it highly for business use. It's expensive, it becomes an open Class 4 laser whenever you use the conveyor or rotary, and it's overkill if you only mark the odd tumbler; a ComMarker B4 or xTool F2 does that for a fraction of the price. ### What we like - 60 W MOPA fiber for deep engraving, 3D embossing, color marking on stainless and titanium, and 2 mm metal cuts - 40 W diode cuts up to 23 mm wood (multiple passes), so organics don't need a second machine - 48 MP dual cameras with autofocus and 15,000 mm/s galvo speed - Tom's Hardware called it 'the best experience we've had with metal engraving'; LightBurn 2.2.0+ supported ### Watch out for - $5,099 for the dual-laser version ($4,099 MOPA-only) - Class 4: conveyor and rotary jobs run with the lid open and the interlock overridden, so you need 1064 nm and 455 nm goggles (none included) - No air assist, and material presets were thin at review time - 47 lb, and xTool Studio's AI design tools use paid credits ## Score breakdown Engraving & cutting 9.6 Ease of use 8.6 Safety & build 7.8 Value 7 60 W MOPA fiber + 40 W diode (output) · Galvo (portable) · Class 4 (enclosed lid) ## xTool F2 Ultra specs | Brand | xTool | | --- | --- | | Laser type | Dual laser (455 nm diode + 1064 nm MOPA fiber) | | Output power | 60 W MOPA fiber + 40 W diode (output) | | Format | Galvo (portable) | | Work area | 220 × 220 mm (8.7 × 8.7 in). 220 × 500 mm with the conveyor; objects up to 150 mm tall | | Max speed | 15,000 mm/s (maker rating) | | Laser class | Class 4 (enclosed lid) | | Cuts wood | Up to 23 mm (maker claim) | | Clear acrylic | No | | Metal | Deep-engraves metal | | Air assist | Not available | | Camera | Yes | | Autofocus | Yes | | Rotary | Optional add-on | | Software | xTool Studio, LightBurn 2.2+ (preliminary) | | Connectivity | USB, Wi-Fi, IP | | Weight | 47 lb | | Warranty | 1 year | | Price tier | $$$$ Pro (over $3,500). See Amazon for today's price. | - LightBurn 2.2 lists the F2 Ultra as functional but still needing testing (preliminary support); xTool's cameras don't work in LightBurn. xTool Studio remains the fully supported software. - xTool spec table: 23 mm basswood / 20 mm acrylic in multiple passes (diode). xTool's FAQ says the MOPA cuts 2 mm brass and stainless and 1 mm aluminum. - The MOPA-only F2 Ultra (Single) is a separate Amazon listing (B0FHWT5DWW, $4,099 on Oct 29, 2026) with fewer ratings (27, 3.9 stars). - xTool says the F2 Ultra and F2 Ultra (Single) work with LightBurn 2.2.0 and above. - Tom's Hardware quoted a $4,999 starting retail price for the MOPA-only version at review time; Amazon showed the dual unit at $5,099 against a $6,499 list price on Oct 29, 2026. ### Bundles and power options Each option is a separate Amazon listing. Prices are typical street prices, not live. | Option | What's different | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | F2 Ultra (Single) | 60 W MOPA only, no diode | [Check price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHWT5DWW?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20) | | F2 Ultra (Dual) | Our pick: 60 W MOPA + 40 W diode | [Check price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHWVMX2L?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20) | Specs are compiled from manufacturer listings and independent reviews and may change between production runs. Laser makers re-bundle often, so confirm what's in the box on the Amazon page before buying. The xTool F2 Ultra is a flagship galvo laser that pairs a 60 W MOPA fiber with a 40 W blue diode in an enclosed workstation with dual 48 MP cameras. It’s the best metal engraver we track, and our pick for the best laser engraver for metal. The dual-laser version cost about $5,099 on Amazon on October 29, 2026 (list $6,499), and the MOPA-only F2 Ultra (Single) about $4,099. Check today’s price on both. At this price the question is payback, so run your numbers through the [profit calculator](https://laserengraversguide.com/tools/profit-calculator/) before you decide. ## Who the F2 Ultra is for (and who should skip it) It’s for jewelry makers, trophy and engraving shops, and businesses doing high-volume metal personalization alongside wood or leather work. The MOPA source is the reason to buy it. It can color-mark stainless and titanium, deep-engrave, emboss in 3D and, per xTool’s FAQ, cut 2 mm brass and stainless and 1 mm aluminum. The 40 W diode means you don’t need a second machine for organic materials. Skip it if you only mark the odd tumbler or dog tag. The [ComMarker B4 20W](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/commarker-b4-20w/) or the portable [xTool F2](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-f2/) does that for a fraction of the price. Skip it if your work is mostly cutting sheet goods; a CO2 flatbed like the [xTool P2S](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-p2s/) has a much bigger bed for less than half the price. ## Key capabilities Tom’s Hardware called it “the best experience we’ve had with metal engraving,” and TechRadar also rated it highly for business use. The combination explains why: - **MOPA fiber, 60 W.** Color marking, deep engraving and 3D embossing on metal, at galvo speeds up to 15,000 mm/s. A standard Q-switched fiber like the one in the [xTool F1 Ultra](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-f1-ultra/) can’t color-mark. - **40 W diode.** xTool lists 23 mm basswood and 20 mm acrylic in multiple passes, more cutting headroom than most galvo machines offer. Dark acrylic only; clear acrylic still needs CO2. - **Cameras and autofocus.** Dual 48 MP cameras with autofocus make placement accurate on small, high-value pieces like rings and pendants. - **Room to grow.** The field is 220 × 220 mm, or 220 × 500 mm with the conveyor, with clearance for objects up to 150 mm tall. LightBurn 2.2.0+ works too, though LightBurn calls the support preliminary. The weak spots at review time were thin material presets and xTool Studio’s AI design tools, which run on paid credits. Neither affects core engraving, but expect to build your own settings for unusual metals. ## What you’ll need beyond the box - **Eyewear for both wavelengths, because none is included.** The enclosed lid blocks laser leakage when closed, but conveyor and rotary jobs run with the lid open and the interlock overridden. That’s an open Class 4 laser. Get eyewear rated for 1064 nm and 455 nm for everyone nearby, such as [Cloudray 1064 nm goggles](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078J3JS39?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20) for the fiber and [CARLANY blue-light glasses](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R4PMCHR?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20) for the diode, checking OD ratings for whichever source is running. - **Fume handling.** There’s no air assist, and metal marking, coatings and wood all produce fumes. xTool pairs the F2 Ultra with its [SafetyPro AP2 purifier](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHCJQS1J?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20), or you can duct outside. Our [ventilation guide](https://laserengraversguide.com/posts/laser-engraver-ventilation-guide/) explains which suits a storefront or studio. - **A rotary for rings and tumblers.** The [RA3 MagSwap rotary](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPLTWJ38?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20) is built for the F2 Ultra. - **A solid bench and fire basics.** It weighs 47 lb. Keep an ABC extinguisher nearby and never leave jobs, especially open-lid ones, unattended. Our [laser engraver safety guide](https://laserengraversguide.com/posts/laser-engraver-safety-guide/) and the [accessories page](https://laserengraversguide.com/accessories/) cover the rest. ## Reliability and warranty xTool covers the F2 Ultra for 1 year, and its store lists a 14-day return policy. It’s a newer machine, and the MOPA-only Single listing had just 27 Amazon ratings (3.9 stars) on October 29, 2026, so there’s limited owner history. Prices have also moved a lot: Tom’s Hardware quoted $4,999 for the Single at review time, against about $4,099 on Amazon now. For a business purchase, compare xTool’s store and Amazon on the day, and confirm whether you’re getting the Single or the Dual. ## Bottom line The F2 Ultra is the most capable metal engraver we track: a 60 W MOPA that color-marks, deep-engraves and cuts thin metal, a 40 W diode for everything else, accurate cameras, and preliminary LightBurn support. It’s expensive, it becomes an open Class 4 laser whenever you use the conveyor or rotary, and it’s overkill for occasional metal work. If metal is your business, it’s the one to buy. If metal is a sideline, the F1 Ultra or a ComMarker B4 costs thousands less.

The Single has only the 60 W MOPA fiber laser and cost about $4,099 on Amazon on October 29, 2026. The Dual adds a 40 W blue diode for wood, leather and dark acrylic and cost about $5,099. If you'll never engrave organic materials, the Single saves $1,000; most mixed-product shops will want the Dual. ### Can the F2 Ultra color-mark stainless steel? Yes. That's what the MOPA source adds over a standard Q-switched fiber like the xTool F1 Ultra's. It can produce color marks on stainless steel and titanium, as well as deep engraving and 3D embossing. ### Does the F2 Ultra need safety glasses? It's rated Class 4. With the lid closed, the enclosure blocks laser leakage, but conveyor and rotary jobs run with the lid open and the interlock overridden. For those, you need eyewear for both 1064 nm and 455 nm, and none comes in the box. ### Does the F2 Ultra work with LightBurn? Preliminarily. xTool says the F2 Ultra and F2 Ultra (Single) work with LightBurn 2.2.0 and above, but LightBurn lists them as functional and still needing testing, and xTool's cameras don't work there. xTool Studio remains the full-featured option. ## Sources - [amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHWVMX2L?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20) - [xtool.com](https://www.xtool.com/products/xtool-f2-ultra-60w-mopa-40w-diode-dual-laser-engraver) - [tomshardware.com](https://www.tomshardware.com/maker-stem/xtool-f2-ultra-fiber-laser-review) Not sold yet? ## Alternatives to the xTool F2 Ultra ![LaserPecker LP5 20W Fiber & Diode](https://laserengraversguide.com/_astro/laserpecker-lp5.BTOKQHf7_ZsFNUe.webp) ### [LaserPecker LP5 20W Fiber & Diode](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/laserpecker-lp5/) 7.2 - 20 W dual laser - Galvo (portable) - 160 × 120 mm - Bare metal Mobile engravers who need fiber-plus-diode capability in the lightest package and will add the enclosure for indoor or retail use. $$$$ Premium Price tier: Premium base bundle on Amazon [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK1HVN69?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20)[Read the full review](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/laserpecker-lp5/) ![xTool F1 Ultra 20W Fiber & Diode](https://laserengraversguide.com/_astro/xtool-f1-ultra.DRpPMPlL_Z1Q2M2X.webp) ### [xTool F1 Ultra 20W Fiber & Diode](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-f1-ultra/) 8.2 - 20 W dual laser - Galvo (portable) - 220 × 220 mm - Bare metal Small businesses that personalize both metal and wood or leather goods and want fast, camera-aligned batch work in one enclosed box. $$$$ Premium Price tier: Premium today's price on Amazon [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9Q787GN?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20)[Read the full review](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-f1-ultra/) ![xTool F2 Portable Dual Laser](https://laserengraversguide.com/_astro/xtool-f2.CKt7NejJ_hguby.webp) ### [xTool F2 Portable Dual Laser](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-f2/) 8.1 - 15 W dual laser - Galvo (portable) - 115 × 115 mm - Bare metal Craft-fair and pop-up sellers who personalize small items on the spot (metal tags, tumblers, phone cases, leather) and need to carry the laser. $$$$ Mid-range Price tier: Mid-range base bundle on Amazon [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G1LDYYC3?tag=laserengraversguide.com-20)[Read the full review](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/xtool-f2/) [Compare all 16 lasers →](https://laserengraversguide.com/laser-engravers/) ## Helpful guides [Top picks ### The 7 Best Laser Engravers of 2026: Ranked for Home, Craft and Small Business The best laser engravers of 2026, ranked: xTool P2S, xTool M2, Creality Falcon A1 Pro, xTool F2 and more, with honest wattage, laser class and price notes.
