So, the Glowforge Pro WILL NOT cut metal?

@npgraphicdesign A quick search on this forum for “cut metal” turned up this:

Can the Basic version be upgraded to Pro at a later date

Thanks Steve! The key question is whether it’s safe for a user to swap out those parts, and whether the likelihood of a typical user damaging the machine is high enough that we can’t risk it. Unfortunately we can’t depend on everyone being as capable as folks like you. : ) Also just checking to be sure you aren’t buying something you’ll regret later - you’re aware that Glowforge can’t cut metal and that some metals require Cermark or similar spray to engrave, right?

So the CEO made that statement. Seems pretty clear to me.
Hope this clears up the “vagueness of answers” for you.
