Forget a router if your wanting to cut mostly Aluminium. It's too fast with minimum 8000rpm and the bearings are just not upto the job and will wear quickly.
Then there's collet range and again they are often limited to just popular router shank sizes often imperial so 1/4",1/2",3/8" or if lucky may get 8mm. You'll need or want metric collets to go with popular small shank sizes of 3 and 6mm and anywere in between that simply won't be available.
Then there's run out.? Routers are not the best for it has cutting wood doesn't need really high tolerances.
2.2KW WC spindle with 1-13mm collet set will be a much better choice and well upto cutting Ali and wood.
