Published 2023-12-05
My first week with the machine and what I think about it so far. Many of my followers have been asking for my opinion of it. We have all heard from my friends ‪@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy‬ , ‪@HoboWithWood‬ and ‪@LSEngraving‬about how well the machine performs, let’s find out for our selves. Thanks to ‪@rolyautomation‬ for sending out the machine for my evaluation.

    After months of research, I am settling on the Mk2 XW. Just put my deposit down!

    Another fantastic selling point is the wonderful customer support. They will even do a video meeting with you to get you going.
  • @I-LOVE-EARTH
    Great Video! This is a xTool D1 Killer and the MK3 will be an xTool S1 Killer! Great Job Roly! Can't wait to see the MK3 next year!

    Got mine last week, no complaints other than my rotary ended up in Great Britain. They missed Michigan by a little bit. One thing I would like to see is steel net pads where the locator pins are for the honeycomb and jig table, the aluminum that those rest on now is bound to get beat up. I’m going to make some for mine out of 01 steel, they’ll last forever. They did do a great job overall on the machine. Still fabbing up that support brace to use as a handle, I’m trying to use existing holes.

    I have the original LM-10 and absolutely love it!!! One day I will have the new 10-30watt. What I would add to your review is the OUTSTANDING customer service Roly provides on its machines. And often the response is from Leo the owner of the company. The machines and the company are next to none in my opinion!!!! Thanks for the review!

    You're awesome! I keep learning from each of your videos 👍. I have WeCreat and am enjoying the laser. WeCreat warranty? Another subject. So, I am in need of another laser. I purchased and returned XTool M1. Why? Support! Support! And support is not in their blood. No matter how many reviews for XTool’s and their models demonstrate, the number one complaint is support. And I can testify. Plus, no matter what others say about XTool lasers, they’re overpriced. The markups for many lasers are ridiculous, knowing most are made in China with cheap labor. Pennies on the dollar during manufacturing in China. That said, what I like so far about the Roly is exactly what you said: they focus on the details, building a top-enclosed laser, and it seems support is good; they listen to their customers. And the price for MK2 is not marked up; it is at a price point where lasers should be. Your review and personal opinion of the MK2 convinced me to make a purchase. I spent too many hours watching video reviews from other channels, both good and not so good, looking for the next laser in my inventory, and yours sold me on the Roly. Again, thanks for never letting us down with your product reviews.👏😎
  • I also have the original MK1 10W and it's pretty sweet. I'm hoping they come out with a version with a larger working area in the near future. In the meantime I'll keep using my P20 Plus for larger jobs and faster cutting.
  • @johnwagner7853
    I havea roly 10w original. As well as others. Roly is amazing, in a class by itsef. I'm trying to hold out for the Roly 30 XL - should be out I. 2024
  • @nathanwolf5547
    Some double sided magnetic tape should solve one of your issues. Thanks so much. Another great video from the Shack. I always feel you’ve really noticed and thought about each item before you post about it.
  • @rongunter6563
    But I have to say this is about the best laser I have ever owned... I love it.
  • @stevenjones9139
    I am getting the 20 watt version and was wondering if there is a Material File out there?
  • @BenGW108
    Hey Buddy great video i haven't found too many on the mk2 . I was wondering how the mk2s laser module held up against the S1 or D1 pro 40w lasers only for beam width xtool seems to have very narow beams for their size or is there noticable difference in quality of engraving/cutting
  • @shawnm4718
    Love your stuff…in your option would this be a bad idea to use this as a take to the craft shows with me? I know it’s bigger but for the cost and how well it’s made can’t beat it. Costing less than the actual portable and being able to engrave bigger things? If not any ideas
  • @15belany
    Did you compare the LX25 against the Woodland Mills HM126 before your purchase? Wondering if the larger WM engine is worth the extra cash? Got to run a bunch of cedar on a 126 and am pleased with the results
