Hello,
Can anyone recommend a commercial grade imported laser cutter suitable to cut mild steel up to 3/8" or 1/2". I need a machine that will be reliable and hopefully has dealer/ tech and parts support in the US.

Sure, mitsubishi, Trumph, Amada all have imported models and support. Plan to spend 500-750k for one. Seriously, big dollars to cut thick steel with a laser. Probably need 2-3kw fiber laser with massive amounts of nitrogen to get through it. You may want to look in to plasma cutters.

I am beginning to realize that and I am thinking of possibly going with a plasma and a lower powered laser maybe around 500w. Any recommendations?

Mostly mild steel 1/8" to 3/8" but I would also on rare occasions need to cut 1/8" aluminum and stainless steel.
