biglew Report post Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) metal will be a much costlier higher power unit. I use a laser all the time and use acrylic to make my templates. I use a machine with a 3'x4'bed with 150 watts. Now I can cut very very thin metals.. but you will need a fiber laser or a lot more power. you might try a waterjet or cnc plasma cutter for metal..
