I would suspect it is either your feed settings or rigidity of your router. I had no issues cutting aluminum with my older 525 version MPCNC. I used these bits:

Using my 525 MPCNC to cut out the plates for a LR2 build. I used the same 2-flute 1/8" carbide endmill for both MDF and aluminum (just slowed movement way down for the aluminum).
I’ll make a separate post on my full-size LR2 build, it’s just about done. Also upgrading the MPCNC to a Primo and mounting my 2W Aperture laser on it.
