Newbie Looking to buy a CNC router

Hello All,

New to forum, new to the world of CNC-

I am looking for a machine that is capable of cutting 2024-T3 aluminum, ranging from .016" to 1/8'' in thickness.

Does anyone have experience cutting this material with a CNC router?

What machines would you recommend?

Is a router table the way to go?

Also, can anyone recommend any software for a complete beginner?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
