Laser Cutting Machines For Home Use

The quality of operation is defined by the distance between the nozzle and the metal. It should be accurate enough to make sure the result is precise and as per the customer’s requirement. Factors like the intensity of the beam and speed of the laser beam and cutting head also determine the output quality.

With fusion cutting, the material is heated by the laser beam up to the melting point and forced out of the kerf by a high-pressure stream of cutting gas (up to 25 bar). As with sublimation cutting, an inert gas, usually nitrogen, is used to force the molten material out of the cut.

With flame cutting, also known as oxygen cutting, a material is heated only to its ignition temperature. Oxygen is used as cutting gas so that the material burns and forms a pure stream of oxide that melts through the additional energy from burning. The cutting oxygen then forces the slag out of the cut piece part.

Laser wood cutting machines are cheap and available for as low as $3,000 to $10.800. They have CO2 laser powers of 80W. 100W. 130W. 150W. 180W.

A fiber laser cutter costs between $8,800.00 and 260,000.00. A CO2 cutter costs between $2600.00 and $68800. A mixed laser cutting machine costs from $6800 to $32,500

With sublimation cutting, a laser beam brings the material to its vaporization point directly in a process that is called sublimation. An inert, or inactive, cutting gas—such as nitrogen, helium, or argon—forces the molten material out of the cut piece part.
