Three weeks ago, I couldn’t have told you the difference between a CO2 laser and a fiber laser if my life depended on it. Lasers, in general, struck me as the kind of tool better suited to a converted craft room than a proper workshop. Cute machines that lightly scratch initials into coasters and cut questionable materials with precision.
Then XTool sent me the P2S—a 55W CO2 laser with a 600x305mm bed. It showed up on my doorstep, and within an hour of the UPS truck disappearing down the street, I had it unboxed, set up, and humming. A few YouTube tutorials, some scrap Baltic birch, and suddenly I’m out here pretending I know what the hell I’m doing.
