what wattage should i go for manly im also a complete noob so general tips would be nice

There is not enough information is your question for anyone to answer--you have not asked anything actually.

Cutting what? What is your budget. What type of CNC machine.

Use google to research whatever level of cutter/cnc laser system you are interesting in.

Please make a Welcome post in the Welcome sub=forum and indicate your location in your profile.

Yuu can look at some low cost good quality laser engraving/cnc heads here: https://optlasers.com/en/15-cnc-3d-lasers

As Encap said, you'll need to provide more information if you want a reasonable answer.

The wattage/type of laser you need depends on what you're cutting, how thick it is and how fast you need to cut it.

Here's a tip that will greatly help you...

Would be appreciated if you introduce
yourself to the members in the Welcome
section.

It would also be helpful to members if
you included your Global location in your
Profile...:yh:
