Shopbot users - what have you learned?

We have a shopbot in our shop that is intended for use on wood, but I've met multiple teams who use similar shopbot routers to cut aluminum. We've tried to get it working before but we ended up breaking bits and having a hard time holding the material down to the bed.

So what tips do you have for someone who is trying to get their shopbot to cut aluminum?
