Metals xTool MetalFab 1200w can cut

Use xTool air compressor & dryer & SaveGas nozzle (Telescopic nozzle) to cut 4mm stainless steel

If you use nitrogen or argon cylinders, refer to the chart above. Most steps are similar.

1. Preparation work

• Connect the air compressor & air dryer to the laser welder. Connect the CNC cutter to the laser welder.
• Turn on the xTool air dryer first, and then turn on the air compressor. Set the air pressure at 1.0MPa, and wait for the device to generate air.
• Install the SaveGas nozzle, turn on the laser welder and CNC cutter.

2. Place and secure the material

3. Connect the device with xTool Studio
