///The reasons are: Any Laser, even used are expensive. And a laser even capable of cutting steel is more expensive exponentially. They have a predetermined life expectancy. For cutting thin steels, plasma is a good alternative. Last but not least, they are very dangerous to experiment with. One shot in the eyes, even reflected could mean permanent eye damage/blindness. Too many safer and cheaper alternatives.

I too, was interested in Laser cutting, even have another shop that asked if I'd build them one. Did the research a few years back. Alot more to it than find a good used laser and mount it on a 2 axis gantry machine. I have no interest in it.
