What Is The Minimum Spindle Rpm Speed To Mill Aluminum W/ Cnc Mill?

Upgrading my shop by buying a cnc mill so I can produce in house. However, I want to be able to mill steel, stainless, titanium and aluminum. The steel and titanium I know are lower rmp speeds for milling due to hardness. What is the minimum spindle rpm allowable so that I can buy a mill that will be capable of milling all of the above listed material?

Is It Possible To Reduce The Spindle Rotation Speed On A Cnc Router Below It’s Normal Speed Range?

I’m going to be using a CNC router to flycut some MDF and I want to create a slightly rough surface. One machine I am considering buying has a spindle rotation speed range of 6,000 to 24,000 RPM. Does anyone know if it is somehow possible to set the machine to cut at a slower rate?
