Either way there are a few starting points that might work for you.
Cnc router cutting sheet metal.
If nothing else compare the work envelope of the mill much lower than a router and it s weight much higher than a router against a cnc router.

Metal fabrication made easy with an axyz cnc router.
Most metal or non metallic materials can be processed.
The laser is processed by a non mechanical tool.

Cutting tools tooling.
Lathes mills combo lathe mills drill presses bandsaws sheet metal surface grinders grinders sanders cnc welding.
When it comes to non ferrous metal fabrication axyz offer an unbeatable range of high performance routing and engraving machines suited to a wide variety of applications.
The textbook cutting speed for aluminum using a carbide tool is about 1 500 surface feet per minute at the high end and 1 000 at the lower end.
It does not produce mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress on the material no tool wear is non toxic and rarely causes environmental pollution.
Solid carbide spiral router bits end mills for steel stainless steel non ferrous metal more excellent for a broad range of materials varying from non ferrous materials aluminum brass copper etc low carbon steel stainless steel and exotics such as titaninum.

A homemade hobby router will be very different from a large router that s professionally built for aerospace composites.
Cutting forces for metal are likely to be much higher than for wood and cnc routers sometimes called gantry mills are considerably less rigid than equivalent cnc mills.
