The metal cutting speed determines the productivity of laser technological devices [1,2,3]. An essential characteristic of the metal cut quality evaluation is the value of the side wall roughness of the cut Rz [2,3,4,9]. Also, the nature of the cut changes with depth. This means that the final roughness also changes. Laser cutting makes it possible to obtain finished parts without subsequent finishing, and the recommendations of technologies for industrial laser machines based on CO2 lasers contain the conditions of high-quality cutting for a wide range of materials [2,4,7,8]. This article covers setting up a fiber laser. It is assumed that effective channeling of the laser beam stops at a certain depth. The laser beam is scattered at large angles and absorbed by the material walls [5,6]. Experiments have shown that scattering occurs at the depths comparable to the laser wavelength and inhomogeneities of the material being processed. Of course, it is worth considering the laser settings and the material being cut. It was assumed that at the appropriate depth, when the channeling of the laser beam is stopped, the material melts due to the incandescent gas jet and the thermal conductivity of the metal. The article also presents the calculation of fiber laser parameters to ensure the minimum divergence of roughness at the entire depth of metal cut. The results of the work were tested at the existing production.
