Thunder Bolt vs Xtool P2 Comparison

In this video we are comparing the Thunder Bolt to the Xtool P2 in the following categories.

Engraving Speed: For this test we ran both machines at their max operating speeds. The Thunder Bolt completed the project almost 5 minutes faster than the P2!

Cutting Speed: For this test we ran both machines at 100% power and used each manufacturer's recommended speed for 1/8 plywood. The Bolt finished nearly a whole minute faster.

Noise Test: If you plan on keeping a laser machine inside your home, the noise that it produces is extremely important to consider. For this test we used a decibel meter to accurately measure the noise produced while the machines were running. The Bolt ranged from 68-74 decibels. The P2 ranged from 77-87 decibels. For reference, below are a few comparable noises.

60 decibels: Conversation from 3ft away or business office
70 decibels: Classroom chatter or vacuum cleaner
80 decibels: Freight train from 100ft away or city traffic
