I use a Sculpfun and my buddy uses an X Tool. Not sure which one. Mine is a 10w and his is a 20w. My suggestion is get the highest wattage and Light Burn software. You'll eventually use it for other things. I really enjoy my laser.

Also get a rotary. My friend has one that uses a chuck and has a roller that XTool offers. I only have a roller so I can't do tapered projects.

I'm getting an XTOOL S1 (40 watt) for my wife to become my laser work partner. She is excited about being able to do laser etching for a lot of things, but I specifically hope to be able to customize my pens and other small turned items.
The question that I have not be able to find an answer for is how will the rotary tool work for pens. Can it hold a pen mandrel so I can use the appropriate bushings to hold different barrels securely in place for etching?
Edit: I should have specified that the rotary tool it is coming with is an RA2 Pro.
