xTool F2 wood settings

12 tried and tested wood and MDF settings for the xTool F2, covering solid wood & boards, sheet & ply and bamboo. Every recipe here has been run on a real F2 in the L3D workshop before being added, with prep tips and notes where they matter.

Every machine is slightly different. Treat these as proven starting points and always run a small test first.

F2 + wood: common questions

How do I get a darker engrave on wood?

Lower the speed slightly or add a second pass rather than jumping the power to maximum. Small steps keep detail crisp instead of charring the surface.

Should I mask wood before engraving?

Masking keeps smoke staining off the surrounding surface, which matters most on light woods and anything you plan to paint fill. For deep engraves on darker woods most makers skip it.

Why do my results look different to yours?

Materials vary between batches and suppliers, machines drift, and focus matters. Treat every number here as a proven starting point, run a small test first, then adjust in small steps.
