Feet. I would like a 4x8 foot table but there just to expensive. 4x4 foot table will work fine though.

I don't think anyone really makes machines in that size that are designed to cut aluminum "no problem". At least not for less than a few hundred thousand.

You probably want to get the heaviest duty router than you can afford.

What's your budget?

A decent 4x4 machine for cutting wood is well over $10,000.

For $7000, you're better off building your own.

for $7000 you could get one from china but it may end up costing 10,000 or more if its bad or not, if you wont to play it safe spend more and get it local

You just described a commercial grade machine (;-)  When you mention Aluminum and accurate and NOT JUNK you moved into a whole new class of machines. And unless you buy used they are not cheap.

How about the crp4848 router kit.

You're budget is just enough for a mid range hobby wood cutting machine. It'll cut aluminum, but very slowly, and it won't give you the best finish.
