Are you new to the xTool F2 and want to learn how to engrave your very own image onto a Slate Coaster? In this beginner friendly project tutorial I show you the entire workflow for engraving an oval wooden keyring from start to finish using the xTool F2. You will learn how to place your blank, how to use a jig for perfect positioning, how to set up your image, how to select your material settings, how to frame accurately, and how to engrave clean, consistent results.
