There are instructions for a homemade laser cutter [http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-cutter-start-slicing-stuff-for-under-50-dol/step6/Follow-me-as-I-discover-a-laser-cutter/ here].
http://www.instructables.com/id/CO2-laser-that-cuts-sheet-metal/ - CNC laser cutter for metal. There is evidence that by using laser engraver tubes ($200 each), say 10 of them, an industrial power laser can be put together at reasonable cost. The challenge is to work out the optics for paralleling the beams
