xTool X1 Honeycomb Panel: Laser Cutting Bed for Cleaner Cuts, Fewer Burn Marks, and Better Airflow
Get cleaner, more professional laser cuts on your xTool X1 with the xTool X1 Honeycomb Panel. This honeycomb work panel is designed specifically for the X1. It lifts your material off the baseplate so the laser beam passes cleanly through the material, which reduces backside scorching, flashback, and burn marks. The open honeycomb structure gives wood, acrylic, metal, and leather even support. It also improves airflow underneath for stronger smoke exhaust, and it protects your X1's baseplate during cutting. Included material pins hold warped or lightweight boards flat and in place. Shop it now at Swing Design, xTool's largest dealer.

How to Use the X1 Honeycomb Panel
- One panel: Place the panel into the X1's baseplate with the side labeled "XTOOL" facing forward. Make sure it sits flat and lines up with the front and rear edges, then slide it left or right to set your work position.
- Two panels: Slide the first panel to the far left, then place the second panel next to it, also with "XTOOL" facing forward. Make sure both panels are flat and level with each other.
- Material pins: Lay your material flat and insert pins at all four corners. For large pieces, use six pins to hold the material securely.
Why Cut on a Honeycomb Panel?
When you cut directly on a solid surface, the laser can reflect back into the material and leave scorch marks, smoke stains, and rough edges on the back side. A honeycomb bed raises your workpiece so the beam and smoke pass through and away from the material, giving you cleaner cuts on both sides. That's essential for finished products like signs, ornaments, jewelry, coasters, and leather goods, where both sides are visible.
