I have seen the type of laser you are describing,I'm more familiar with much larger lasers. I worked for a company for about 8 years that had two , one was 2500 watts and the other was 6000 watts. The big one could cut 1" thick stainless! I programmed and operated both machines for years.

Hah, my laser is 45 watts. It's a good experience for the kids. If the prices really drop they could replace plasma cutters one day. Although there will always be a need for free hand work. You need at least 125 watts to cut thin metal. Mine doesn't even leave a mark.
You guys know it is not the size of your laser that matters right?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
My father is a welder, now he is a retired welder and welds interesting sculptures in his free time. I call him a folk artist, he gets a kick out of that. He worked on lots of skyscapers in NYC and helped build Shea Stadium many many years ago. Now he builds cute little animals out of horseshoes and frying pans and whatever metal he can find. That's my contribution to the welding conversation.
I used to be that man Fo. Not anymore. I really like myself and the direction I'm going. It's not an easy journey but I have friends to help me along the way.
