Only if the laser beam is thin enough and hot enough to just melt the area you are cutting without melting any other part of the ice

Are there any lasers that can cut through metal?
Absolutely. There are many lasers used in industry for metal cutting. CO2 lasers are the most common, but there are many other types.
What are the potential harmful effects of lasers?
Lasers produce a strong beam of light. If you understand that light is energy then you will understand that a laser delivers energy to a point where the beam strikes. That energy can be weak - most domestic lasers are very low energy - and is only dangerous if focused on your retina. Like looking at the sun, looking directly at a laser can burn little permanent scars on your retina. Running it over your fingers does nothing. Commercial lasers are another story. Powerful lasers are widely used for cutting steel plates in the same way an oxy-acetylene torch does. Those lasers would cut your hand off as quickly as a butchers saw. And military lasers are big-brothers of the commercial ones. They are designed to cut holes in orbiting satellites at ranges of thousands of miles. Powerful indeed.
What is the difference between cold and hot lasers?

That depends on the power of the laser. If you are using a laser from a pointer device, it will cut nothing. If you are using lasers rated in kilowatts then you can cut metal.
