Both are 355 nm desktop UV galvos. They are not the same purchase. This page compares published specifications as of October 2026. It is not a long-term ownership test, and it does not award a winner. Check the current listing before you pay, because bundles and prices move.

Speed figures are marketing maximums for the galvo, not the speed you will use on slate. The slate logs that produced a white mark were in the low hundreds of millimetres per second, not 15,000 (slate chart).

What you are actually choosing

xTool F2 Ultra UV

Pros

  • One 5 W configuration, so the listing is easier to read.
  • Larger stated surface field than the Omni 1 lenses in ComMarker's FAQ.
  • Camera framing and autofocus are part of the published workflow.
  • Inner crystal engraving is specified, at 70 × 70 mm.

Cons

  • You are in xTool Studio, not a LightBurn file you already own.
  • 5 W is the only power. There is no 10 W step-up in this model.
  • The street price sits at $4,299 before tax and shipping.

ComMarker Omni 1

Pros

  • A 10 W option exists if the bundle you found is actually that version.
  • LightBurn support matters if that is already your shop software.
  • Two field lenses are part of how ComMarker describes the machine.

Cons

  • 5 W and 10 W share a model name. Read the power line twice.
  • The stated fields are smaller than the F2 Ultra UV's 200 mm square.
  • Enclosure and camera gear vary by listing. Do not assume the photo matches the base box.

Which blank fits which field

A 4-inch slate coaster fits either machine. A 200 mm sign, or several coasters in one frame, is an F2 Ultra UV conversation because of the stated field. A dense logo on a small metal tag is less about the 200 mm square and more about spot size, focus, and whether you want LightBurn.

Crystal cubes use the inner setup on the F2. If that product is the business, confirm the Omni 1 bundle can do the same job before you treat the machines as twins. Glass notes: Can a UV Laser Engrave Glass?.

How to decide

Pick the F2 Ultra UV if you want the larger surface field, the camera workflow, and you are willing to live in xTool Studio. Pick an Omni 1 only after you have written down the wattage, the lenses, and whether LightBurn is in the price. If you are still on the fence about UV at all, start with the buying guide.

FAQ

Is 10 W twice as sharp as 5 W?

No. Spot size and focus decide sharpness. More power can mark faster or deeper. It does not automatically draw a finer line. xTool argues that 5 W is enough for this class of desktop UV work. ComMarker still sells a higher wattage. Read both claims as sales copy and test the job you sell.

Which one has better slate settings?

The sourced slate chart on this site is for the F2 Ultra UV, because that is where the public logs were. An Omni 1 still needs its own grid. Do not paste the F2 numbers across.
