a home made laser even though possible will not be able to cut through metal because of how it is made. it will not be as powerful as a commercial models even though it may use the same amount of power ur laser just wouldnt be as efficient ps its very hard to make one

If you have to ask, this project is way beyond you. A laser that strong would be so dangerous, you really shouldn't be playing with it. I don't think any easily obtainable or affordable laser can do that.

Our 70 Watt laser cutter can't cut through metal. A laser cutter than can cut through metal would have to be very strong. A plasma cutter is slightly more reasonable, but still very dangerous.

plasma cutters are less dangerous than an acetylene torch. I spose anything that melts metal is "dangerous" but plasma cutters are easy to operate - if a bit pricey.

I think that your best bet would be to build a traditional CNC machine, that uses a high-speed cutter to cut the metal, rather than a laser or plasma. Such a machine is far more possible for a hobbyist to build.
