About 1/8"(3mm) Red Acrylic Settings for the xTool F1 Lite

The xTool F1 Lite cuts 1/8"(3mm) Red Acrylic cleanly at 2 mm/s with 100% power over 2 passes. Always test on a scrap piece first — every machine is slightly different, and variables like tube age, lens condition, and material batch can shift results.

For 1/8"(3mm) Red Acrylic, the key variables to dial in are speed and power. If the laser isn't cutting through cleanly, slow down or add a pass before pushing power higher — excessive power causes charring and wider kerfs. Air assist is highly recommended for wood and organic materials to clear smoke and protect the lens.
