How Thick Can a Laser Cutter Cut?

The cutting thickness on metal materials depend on 2 facts:

2. Metal materials, different metals like carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, their absorbability is different for same laser power, so the cutting thickness will different. Carbon steel is the easiest to cut metal material, Aluminum is the hardest to cut metal in three of them.
