The lasers I ran could do that but we typically cut steel and aluminum with them. They had a separate chiller that had to vent outdoors, along with forced ventilation systems to keep fumes and fine metal dust from building up.
I'm not as familiar with cutting plywood, unfortunately. But I feel like 18mm material woukd need at least 1,000 watts.
Cool!

I feel like the guys that run our plasma may not have the best ventilation.
