A laser beam cutting head 34 and a plasma arc cutting head 40 are mounted side by side on the carriage 24. This device is programmed so that either of laser beam working head or plasma arc cutting head is controlled by the gantry 12 and the carriage 24 while they move in a prescribed path over a work-piece existing under the gantry 12 and the carriage 24. A laser beam generator is mounted on the gantry 12 so that the laser beam is transmitted to the laser beam cutting head with the minimum bend and reflection.
