The xTool F1 Lite is a high-speed compact laser engraver which provides excellent engraving accuracy alongside wide material compatibility and ease of use. The Lite version features a diode laser in contrast to the standard model that offers both a diode laser and an infrared laser, which allows the latter to process more metals. The  is the improved version of the original F1 designed for efficient batch engraving on almost all materials. 

The key differences between the F1 and F1 Lite models are presented in the table below.

A 10W diode laser with a wavelength of 455 nm covers a wide range of compatible materials. The industrial-grade galvo system allows for an incredible speed of 4000 mm/s, making the F1 Lite one of the fastest laser engravers in the market. With an accuracy of 0.00199 mm, the F1 Lite can perform the finest engravings with an outstanding quality. The live preview function and the L-shaped retaining frame help precisely place the material and speed up the process, making the machine suitable for batch production. There are two live preview options, where you can see either a frame or a graphic outline of your design, shown with a blue laser beam that is not harmful to the eyes.

Compact size and weight of only 4.6 kg make the F1 Lite a truly portable device, and handheld engraving allows using it not only on the desktop, but literally on the go, greatly enhancing engraving opportunities. The protective cover safely blocks harmful laser emission and can be set at any height. The built-in fan extracts smoke and fumes and can be supplemented with an optional desktop air purifier for extra protection.
