I've been using the xTool P2 for more than six months, putting it through its paces to see how this powerful 55-watt CO2 laser performs over time. And it's not let me down. This is an encased laser cutter and engraver, which makes it less messy and smokey than the cheaper frame-only open alternatives. But this also has the knock-on of being larger and heavier than those flexible laser engravers.
