Also, materials, aluminium only? This thing could be really nice for hobby projects (not gun related, that is).

No, it is not a general purpose CNC mill. It is specifically designed for the task of making the receiver parts from almost ready but non-functional gun pieces ("80% receivers").

It might be adaptable something else but it wasn't designed for that.
