I never thought to use Eagle for metal work but that's a great idea.

  Glad Eagle took this approach since it means one can use the program 
  for machine work without any limitations. Holes are not considered 
  circuit elements so any size drill templates for manual or CNC 
  drilling can be created. I'm CNC drilling the base of an aluminium 
  chassis below using Eagle CAD/CAM files;
