Cutting metal with a router
PoDunkMoFo:
What kind of pattern are you cutting in the metal.
You might consider making a template out of wood. Clamp the wood over the metal and let it guide you. Tried to find an example of this on-line but don't have the time right now. Others here may chime in. I'm sure there are competent woodworkers who could give a better explanation than mine.
FWIW
Crazy Cooter:
There are some metallic laminates that you could use. It might be exactly what you're looking for. They should be available anywhere "regular" laminate is.

DO NOT use a router to cut metal. The metal coming off of it will be hot as all get out, and at the RPM's of a router, you have absolutely no idea where they'll be spitting 'em out and in what direction.
Use a punch, a dremel with the proper bit, a jigsaw, a drill, ANYTHING other than a router.
