Yes, albeit much more slowly than a mill. Also, you are limited by the kinds of bits available (since a router spins much too fast for an end mill) and how far they can stick out from the router nose.
Similar for box tubing: The reach of the bit is limited.
Typical limit is about an inch in aluminum.
