As someone with absolutely zero experience with laser cutters/engravers, I was wondering about the practicality of cutting (not engraving) sheet steel. I understand that it would probably have to be painted before it is cut to prevent laser reflection, and that thickness would be a major limitation. However, I’ve been doing plenty of research with little results. I did find a nearly illegible chart, but that was not helpful. Basically, could I use the Falcon A1 Pro in order to cut sheet steel, and what gauges would I be limited to?
For sheet steel you will need a powerful CO2 laser cutter. Other materials like aluminium or copper can be cut easily with a fibre laser cutter.

Thanks!
I should have specified that I was looking at a fairly thin gauge, but this is definitely going to help clear up some of my confusion.
You’ll be absolutely fine with a fibre laser for cutting thin gauge metals. Glad to hear some of the confusion is gone! Totally get it, whole new area for me too recently and I have a lot left to learn 
Excellent!
Now I just have to find some specifics on gauges and wattages and so forth and scrape together a pile of money!
