So after making the Rock Cutter and being fairly disappointed with it's low power I decided to make a mining laser. I can't seem to change the firing mode on it, M is what it was suppose to be but that is used by the Mini map, and even unbinding the M key and trying again doesn't work, so what is it suppose to be?

Just in case it was the Minimap's M hotkey you tried rebinding, that doesn't work. You have to rebind the mode key instead.
Just pause the game > options > controls > scroll down to Mode Switch Key and bind another key. It's not a solution, it's a workaround but hey, that was all I could come up with 
Yeah it's a bug, the M key is somehow reserved permanently for Rei's even if it's not using it. Better to rebind mode switch.
A small comment to the OP:
The Rock Cutter is essentially a Silk Touch tool. That's its only purpose. If you're mining and want to bring back a diamong block as-is to your base, you can use this tool. No enchanting needed. Then your buddy with that fabulous Fortune III pickaxe can whack it into multiple diamonds for you.
Regarding the mode change, I bound mine to a different letter and it was fine. M doesn't work. Don't forget to right-click when holding the letter down too, by the way. That's what changes modes. Not just the key by itself.
