What is the xTool P2 Automatic Conveyor Feeder?
The xTool P2 Automatic Conveyor Feeder allows you to cut or engrave materials and projects up to 118 inches long (that’s almost 10 feet! 🤯), 19.6 inches wide, and 14 mm thick (a little over a half an inch).
And, as the name suggests, the feeder automatically pushes the material forward and backward.
How Does the xTool P2 Automatic Conveyor Feeder Work?
Before you get started with the Automatic Conveyor Feeder, you’ll need xTool’s Riser Base. The Riser Base is required to use the Automatic Conveyor Feeder.
Notice that the conveyor goes through the front and back of the riser base, as shown in the photo:
Once installed, the Automatic Conveyor Feeder is easy to use:
- Load the material to be cut or engraved.
2. Adjust the pressure on the rollers according to xTool’s guidelines (listed in the instructions and online). Basically, you turn a knob to adjust the tension on the material. In this case, I took the tension from green, past yellow, to red.
3. Adjust settings in the Creative Space software.
4. Process the job.
5. Admire your finished product.
