Key Benefits

• Process materials up to 3 meters long
• Perfect alignment for multi-section cuts and engravings
• Hands-free feeding reduces manual error
• Supports materials up to 14 mm thick
• Works with P2, P2S, and S1

Everything needed to install and run the system is provided.

How the xTool Automatic Conveyor Feeder Works

The feeder uses pinch rollers and adjustable conveyor rails to keep your material aligned and pressed down while the motor advances the workpiece in real time.

During cutting or engraving:

1. The laser processes the first section.
2. XCS commands the feeder to advance the material a precise distance.
3. The next section is processed, perfectly aligned.
4. This repeats until the job is complete.

This process ensures seamless stitching across large projects.

xTool Automatic Conveyor Feeder Buyers Guide

Thinking about adding the Automatic Conveyor Feeder to your xTool P2/P2S or S1? This buyers guide breaks down exactly who this accessory is for, what it does best, and what to consider before purchasing.

Who Is the xTool Automatic Conveyor Feeder Best For?

Sign makers and large-format creators

Ideal for customers producing long signage, oversized stencils, and tall wall décor.

Small businesses wanting batch production

Perfect for processing multiple long boards or panels consistently with reduced manual handling.

Makers who need perfect alignment across long cuts

The auto-feed mechanism ensures sections line up seamlessly—no guesswork.

Users with limited workspace

Instead of needing a giant-format laser, the feeder lets you process long materials on a compact machine.

Key Reasons to Buy the xTool Automatic Conveyor Feeder

1. Unlocks 3-Meter Material Processing

Great for large woodworking and acrylic projects that won’t fit on a standard laser bed.

2. Automated Material Advancement

Eliminates manual repositioning, which reduces errors and speeds up production.

3. Improves Accuracy and Repeatability

Ensures perfect alignment when engraving or cutting long designs.

4. Highly Versatile Material Support

Works with a wide range of thicknesses (0–14 mm) and materials including plywood, MDF, acrylic, EVA, felt, kraft paper, leather, and more.

5. Cost-Effective Alternative to an XL Laser

Rather than buying a giant laser system, the feeder extends your machine’s capabilities for a fraction of the cost.

What to Consider Before Buying

1. Workspace Requirements

You must have enough space in front and behind your machine to accommodate long materials.

2. Material Flatness Matters

Warped wood can affect alignment. Light sanding or flattening is recommended for best results.

3. Some Learning Curve

You’ll need to get comfortable with pinch roller pressure settings and rail spacing for the smoothest feed.

4. Additional Rails May Be Needed

For very long or flexible materials, extra conveyor rails provide better stability.

Who Should Skip It?

You may not need the conveyor feeder if:

• You only work with small or short materials
• You rarely work with wood or acrylic larger than your laser bed
• You use your machine mostly for tumblers or small crafts

Is the xTool Conveyor Feeder Worth It? (Quick Verdict)

Yes — if you want to expand into large-format projects or run production-level workloads.
The feeder dramatically increases what your xTool machine can do and pays for itself quickly for businesses producing large signs, floor art, porch boards, and long décor pieces.

How to Install the xTool Automatic Conveyor Feeder (Overview)

Assembly Instructions for the xTool S1

1. Install the Conveyor Feeder Main Unit

1. Open the front and rear doors of the riser base. Ensure the xTool S1 sits on the D level.
2. Slide the conveyor feeder into the front door opening and align its tabs with the mounting holes.
3. Tighten the left screws first, then the right.

2. Install the Front Conveyor Rails

1. Insert each conveyor rail riser into the rail groove (aligned with the second roller) and tighten.
2. Repeat for the second rail.
3. Slide both rail ends into the feeder’s front-side grooves.
4. Adjust the spacing to fit your material width, then tighten all screws.

3. Install the Rear Conveyor Rails

1. Insert rail risers so they sit between the third and fourth rollers; tighten.
2. Connect the rail ends to the short rail.
3. Repeat for the second rail.
4. Insert both rear rails through the riser base’s back opening and slide them into the feeder’s inner grooves.
5. Align the rear rails with the front rails and secure them.

4. Connect the Motor Cable

Important: Turn off the xTool S1 first

1. Stick the two cable clamps inside the machine where indicated.
2. Route and secure the motor cable, then plug it into the extension port on the S1’s front interior panel.

5. Organize Rear Cables

1. Stick the cable-tie holder to the back of the S1.
2. Run a cable tie through the holder, gather all cables and tubes, and secure them to prevent interference during feeding.

Best Practices When Using the xTool Automatic Conveyor Feeder

Use flat materials

Warped edges can cause misalignment.

Keep smoke exhaust routed to avoid blocking the rails

Use the provided cable ties.

Ensure both sides of the conveyor rails are symmetrical

Uneven spacing may cause skew or distortion.

For soft/thin materials, use the included material pressing rod

Helps prevent shifting during feed movement.

Support materials longer than 30 cm in the air

Add additional conveyor rails if needed.

Clean debris regularly

Turn over the feeder and brush away dust around pinch rollers.
