Need a bit of hel with a Brand New i-XL24 (new for me)

[M@CK]

Hey gang,
I'm looking for some wisdom here.
Very small shop (father and son shop) just bought a used I-XL24 with a 3kw router on it and some static tools and one oscillating tool.

The question I have is what tool / blades / bits do you guys recommend I buy to go with it?
I have zero experience on this type of equipment.
What bit should I buy to route: Plexy, ACP, Aluminium from .040 to .080.
We will be cutting quite a bit of Sinta, coroplast, kiss cutting vinyl and full cutting (pop out decals).

All recommendation are immensely appreciated.

I will have a basic training on it by Esko, but I would like to have most tools ready for them to explain the best practices for them.

Kindest regards.

P.S. see pictures for the included tools, sorry for the ugly picture ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

in your rigid knife, I like the DR8160 or DR8180 for cutting 1/8" pvc and polystyrene and the SR8170 or SR8172 for cutting vinyl.
Kiss cutting I use the KC101.
I have the vibe knife not the oscillating knife so I'm not sure on that one.
Aluminum & Dibond - MUS06-4006-50C2
Acrylic - AUS06-6022-58 (this is a wider bit, but I find the 3mm (AUS06-3011-50) bit doesn't clean out as well)
PVC thicker than 1/8" you can use the above bit or MUS06-6022-58, the Acrylic bit is sharper but it'll wear quicker if you use it for everything.

Both you guy's are freaking awesome !
I love you both, a lot. I'll explore all recommendation for sure !
You guy's have a great weekend now.

looked over Josh's stuff. They seem like good off-brand bits. I'd recommend the DLC version of the bit for your aluminum, more expensive but will handle heat better.
