Lasers are highly concentrated beams of light. The more concentrated the beam, the hotter the beam becomes on contact with the metal. From here, there are several different methods that can be used. The one you probably have in mind would be reactive cutting, which is usually used for carbon steel that is over 1mm.

How thick can a laser cut through metal?
The thickness of metal that a laser can cut through depends on the power of the laser. Typically, high-powered industrial lasers can cut through metal up to several inches thick. The type of metal being cut also affects the cutting depth capability of the laser.
What would happen if a laser burned your retina?
If a LASER device burned you retina, you would mostly or completely blind in that eye. There would most likely be no way to repair the damage. Keep in mind that LASER beams can cut through steel !
Can diamonds cut through steel?
Yes, a diamond-tipped tool can cut through steel.
Can laser cut through concrete or steel?
Yes, lasers can cut through concrete and steel, but the effectiveness depends on the type of laser and its power. High-powered industrial lasers, such as fiber or CO2 lasers, are capable of cutting through steel, while specialized lasers can also be used for concrete, often in combination with water to improve efficiency. However, cutting through these materials is typically more complex and requires precise settings to achieve clean cuts without damaging the surrounding area.
Is there a laser that can cut through diamond?
Yes
What is the best way to cut stainless steel?
The best way to cut stainless steel is to use a cutting tool specifically designed for metal, such as a plasma cutter, laser cutter, or abrasive saw. These tools are able to cut through stainless steel efficiently and with precision. It is important to wear appropriate safety gear and follow proper cutting techniques when working with stainless steel to ensure a clean and accurate cut.
Can laser points cut through objects?
yes
Can you cut through steel?
yes
What do you call a beam of light so powerful that it can cut through light?
A laser. Laser beams are intense and concentrated beams of light that have the ability to cut through various materials, including other light sources.
What materials can be cut with a laser cutting machine?
Laser cutting machines cut through a large variety of materials, but there are several laser technologies. CO2 laser can cut organic materials like wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, acrylics and plastics.
Could a laser be used to cut through a cement wall?
yes
What is steel cutting?
It depends on how thick of steel you're aiming to cut. But most job shops process steel with either laser cutting (for thin steel) or waterjet cutting (for up to 12" thick)... or machining.
