Description
Calibrating your xTool X1? Congratulations, you found the most boring video in the series. 😅 It’s long, it’s tedious and parts of it are confusing, but you only have to do it once, and if you do it right, everything you cut and engrave after this lines up the way it should.

I’m calibrating the 55W CO2 and the 20W diode, and I’ll save you some time along the way: which supplies you actually need (and which ones the software asks for that you won’t use yet), how to fix the CO2 laser alignment if yours is a little off, and what happened when the focus calibration wouldn’t accept any of my answers.
