  15. Lasers can cut metal.... if yours doesn't it might be because it is a smaller power laser and you might not be doing it right. I am a member of a makerspace and we don't have a high power laser but we have cut thinner metal with it... you can also use a plasma cutter...
  16. try a servo motor... then you can put a reducer on that to slow it down even more
