Can the shapoko pro handle aluminum

Yes. (given suitable tooling, feeds and speeds, and toolpaths)

My first project on my SO3 w/ belt-drive Z-axis and 6mm wide belts was in aluminum:

and folks have done quite well w/ that earlier model:

and with default feeds and speeds and tooling my SO Pro had no problems cutting through a 13.5mm alu. plate:

What sort of work do you wish to do? Cutting what alloy? Using what CAD/CAM?
