Oxygen and/or Nitrogen increase the cutting speed, particularly when cutting thinner material.
Use of Oxygen & Nitrogen also raise the cutting efficiency of lower powered lasers -i.e, a 2kw Industrial laser can be made to cut at the rate of a 3kw laser by use of Oxygen/Nitrogen.
There is less need to use supplementary gasses when cutting thicker materials.

its to blow the melted metal away.
some gasses react with the metal that's why they use different gasses(to prevent it)

Very fine video, thank you.
What is the purpose of oxygen/nitrogen in a laser cutter?
