What we like

- Enclosed design for safety — suitable for home and office use
- 500×305mm work area — largest in LaserPecker lineup
- WiFi + mobile app support; compact at 22.5 kg
Watch out for
- Diode laser: slower and less precise than CO2 for thick material cutting
xTool S1 40W
What we like
- Cuts 18mm wood and 15mm acrylic in one pass
- Can mark and score thin stainless steel
- Full Class 1 enclosure — no safety glasses required
- Built-in camera for precise placement
- Autofocus and air assist included
- Same fast 36,000 mm/min (600 mm/s) speed as 20W
Watch out for
- Significantly pricier than the 20W variant
- Heavier than open-frame equivalents
- Enclosure limits maximum material height
- Diode still falls short of CO₂ for thick acrylic or glass
