Among the many discounts, you'll find the xTool P2. This exact model is our top pick for best laser cutter out there. Our Senior Editor and expert maker James Bricknell writes: "It isn't the cheapest laser cutter around, but with a host of amazing accessories, fantastic software and a cutting size and speed that are hard to ignore, it takes the crown from the Glowforge Pro, but just barely. It's huge, so make sure you have room in your workshop to house it."
Regularly priced at $4,999, you can nab the xTool P2 right now for $3,449 thanks to the combo of their already-discounted Black Friday price and the offer code XBFCM25 (which auto applies). That's $1,550 in savings. It's worth noting this price is for US customers only.

If the prospect of something that needs its own workshop sounds a little big for you, consider also the xTool F1. This is an ultra-portable machine, perfect for markets and conventions when you want to showcase or sell your work. The xTool F1 has a list price of $1,999. Thanks to the sale, that price has dropped to $1,199, a nice $800 discount.
Bricknell writes: "It's been a while since I've had as much fun with a maker tool as I have had with the xTool F1. It's lightweight and very easy to transport if you go to many trade shows, conferences or farmer's markets and, with the accessories in this bundle, you can etch batches of products as easily as one. The software is excellent too, making it easy to line up projects or trace out new projects from a photo."
