A 100W laser cuts acrylic and wood, not steel. This is the power level of hobbyist laser cutters.

That's in part why I said 'sorta', but Kern actually sells a 150w CO2 laser that they will support for metal cutting applications (2mm for mild steel).

I'll conveniently ignore the O2 assist for the sake of counterpoint. :)
