    It might work for a while, assuming you used the right diamond bits and went slowly enough. But the abrasive nature of that material (essentially concrete with quartz aggregate) will ensure the speedy destruction of all the moving parts of your machine, (screws, slides and motors) unless they're protected from the dust somehow.

    If you really want to make things out of concrete using your router, make them out of something else first, that's suitable for it (like wood), make a mold from that, and cast the parts you want.
