Information

      A Rocket Stove uses just a few small pieces of wood for maximum energy and minimal smoke. Perfect for camping, picnics, or backyard gatherings! With the xTool MetalFab, you can easily create your own high-quality stove with fast cutting and welding. Join the fun and start your adventure with xTool MetalFab today!

Instruction

Step1: Connect the machine, place the material

Preview

Open and connect the welding machine to the cutting platform, then plug on, turn on the gas(nitrogen cylinder of 174 PSI/1.2 MPa or set the xTool air compressor with dryer at the highest pressure of 145 PSI/1.0MPa while xcs will show 0.5-0.7MPa when processing).
Place a 24''x 24''(610 x 610 mm) sheet on the cutting platform and secure it with the blade and clamps.

Step2: Insert the XCS file

Preview

Turn on the machine, open xTool Creative Space on the computer, drag in the required xcs file, and adjust the parameters.

Step3: Calibrate the capacitive sensor

Preview

Click the start calibration button and then click on the center area of the material image to perform calibration.

Step4: Framing and Processing

Click the "Framing" to confirm that it is within the processing range. If there are no issues, close the lid, click "Process" and press the "Start" button of the cutting platform.

Follow the steps above to replace the material and cut out all the patterns

Step5: Equipment Switching

Preview

Adjust the gas pressure
Reduce the pressure of the nitrogen cylinder to 14.5-29 PSI(0.1-0.2 MPa). (If you used a compressor and dryer, disconnect from the welding machine and connect the nitrogen cylinder.)
Cable connection for welding
Disconnect the wiring between the welding machine and the cutting platform, and connect the wire feeder to the welding machine.
Assemble the welding head and wire cable
Remove the capacitor head from the welding gun and install the welding head and wire feeding tube.
Connect the workpiece sensing cable
Install the welding wire and Connect the workpiece sensing cable onto the metal part that needs to be welded to complete the circuit.

Step6: Assembly and Welding

Preview

Choose the material 1/8'' (3mm) Stainless Steel to apply the built-in welding parameters, and proceed with welding (Remind to enable wire feeding and lasering)

Weld the main unit.
Weld the drawer.
Weld the feed pipe.
Weld the clamps.

Step7: Must-know Suggestions

When cutting, select the correct combination of cutting nozzle and gas: use a standard nozzle with a nitrogen cylinder or a large compressor (pressure must reach 174 PSI/1.2 MPa shown in XCS software); use a storm nozzle with xTool air compressor and dryer, setting the gas pressure to a maximum of 145 PSI/1.0 MPa for optimal cutting performance.
The welding machine cannot be connected to the cutting platform and wire feeder simultaneously; you need to switch device connections and adjust the gas pressure.
It is recommended to conduct a small-scale test before cutting and welding to confirm the results before proceeding with further processing.
It is advisable to first use spot welding to secure key points, and then proceed with continuous welding.
