Hands-Free Control for Faster xTool F1 Workflows
The xTool F1 Pedal & Button Switch gives you physical control over engraving tasks, allowing you to start, pause, and repeat jobs without interacting with software or moving your hands away from your workspace.
Designed for Repeat Jobs and Production Efficiency
This accessory is ideal for makers and small businesses running repetitive engraving tasks. By eliminating constant mouse clicks or keyboard input, it helps maintain workflow rhythm and reduces interruptions during batch production.
While not required for occasional one-off projects, it becomes especially valuable for users engraving multiple items in sequence.
Reduce Movement, Improve Precision
Using a physical pedal or button minimizes the chance of bumping or shifting materials mid-process. This added stability supports consistent results, particularly when engraving small or precisely positioned items.
Simple Press Controls for Engraving Tasks
The pedal and button switch respond directly to the xTool F1’s task status, allowing intuitive control throughout the engraving process.
| F1 Task Status | Pedal / Button Action | Machine Response |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to Start | Press / Step | Start processing |
| Processing | Press / Step | Pause processing |
| Paused | Press / Step | Resume processing |
| Completed | Double-press / Double-step | Repeat the task |
