Thank You, guys for all the advices! I really appreciate!

Aluminium most probably will be 6061. Main task for the machine will
be to cut parts out of 10-15 mm thick aluminium sheets for
constructions of other machines I am building.
Spindle power - 1 kW.
I am building a milling router for my own use. Max feedrate most
probably will be above 10 m/min. It depends on how will work those
motors that I have.

I hope so. The gantry bridge has 3 m long 180*90 mm extruded aluminium
profile, so it should be stiff enough - I already have built a milling
router with this same extruded profile. It was just a little shorter
(2800 mm) in that machine, and it really felt rock solid.
The spindle will be Kress motor, variable in 5000 - 25000 RPM range.
0.004" = ~0.1 mm; that approximately is feed per tooth that I already
had in mind.
