The Underrated Tool That Saves Hours of Wasted Material

Getting the right settings for your engravings does not need to be guesswork. In this video I show you how I use the Material Test Array inside Xtool Studio to dial in perfect laser engraving results on every material. The updated Studio version is far more user friendly and much more powerful than the older XCS version, and this walkthrough will show you how to get the most out of it. You will learn how to build your test grid, how to read the results, and how to save the perfect settings so you can engrave with confidence. I also walk you through a real world test on cork so you can see exactly how I approach a new material from start to finish. If you are a beginner or mid level laser user, this method will save you time, materials, and frustration. Whether you have a new Xtool machine or you want better results from the one you already own, this tutorial shows you why material testing is one of the most important steps in your workflow.
