Cheap, laser and metal cutting are not normally seen in the same sentence...

You'll want a beefy fiber laser and an industrial setup with regards to fume extraction, metal vapor isn't exactly healthy to breathe. Operating a machine of that power level in or near a residence is probably not the best idea unless you live remote. For work like that I'd probably outsource it, I do not have enough metal cutting projects that I need that capability in house and in an extreme case I can always break out the jigsaw (or even the grinder...) for a one-off. Not quite as precise but for most stuff I do that would be good enough.
