There isn't enough oil in the world to lubricate and keep cool a bit turning that fast! Remember, a mill turns at less than 1,000 rpm while a router turns at up to 25,000 rpm.

I would think you might want more horsies under the hood than this little router, and probably a half inch shank, possibly with special bits. Depends on how much metal you want to hog out. I mean, a milling center is sort of like a router on steroids. Or more like if a drill press and router hooked up at a bar and .. well .. you know what I mean. -- Blue skies.
