Madethebest.com has a father's day sale, where they offer the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro with the LF (long focus) laser module which is especially suited for cutting for US$429.
It also comes with an air assist nozzle which allows for cleaner cuts. You can also use it for engraving of course, but then the other laser modules with a smaller focus point might be better suited.
