xTool Pedal Switch for F-Series Laser Engravers

The xTool Pedal Switch for F-Series Laser Engravers is a hands-free control accessory designed to improve efficiency during batch engraving and repeated production workflows. It allows users to start, pause, resume and repeat laser-processing tasks without touching the machine or returning to the computer.

A single step starts a job when the machine is ready. Stepping on the pedal during processing pauses the task, while another step resumes it. Once the job is complete, a double-step repeats the same task, making the pedal especially useful for producing multiple identical items.

Hands-free operation allows users to keep both hands available for positioning, holding or replacing materials. This can improve workflow speed while reducing the risk of accidentally shifting the laser engraver or workpiece by pressing controls directly on the machine.

The pedal connects directly to the supported accessory port and requires no additional software configuration. Its lightweight aluminium-alloy housing provides a durable, professional design suitable for workshops, production studios and personalisation businesses.
