It's possible but not particularly practical. As I understand it, to mill aluminum you will have to at a minimum modify the machine so it's a bit more capable.

The short answer is no, 3040 is not adequate for cutting 10mm aluminum.
It is _technically_ possible, if you don't mind spending several hours spraying WD-40 and listening to loud screeching noises. That's just to make one part. And the part will have lousy finish and wide tolerances. And the "spindle" - I use this term loosely - will be trashed before you complete one set of rings.
