 +==Fusion 360 Toolpaths==
 +I nice formatted tutorial of how to setup a job in Fusion 360

 +
 +Update: the following G28 thing might actually not be necessary.  Before setting the origin on the workpiece, move the spindle to a safe location above the workpiece.  Then, click "Ref All Home."  If you do this, that location will be the "Home" position that G28 goes to.
 +
 +This is very, very preliminary, but critical:
 +DISABLE G28.  If you leave G28 enabled, the machine will rapid to a bad place.  If you are lucky, it will only break your bit.  If you are not lucky, you will break the machine.  This has already happened once.
 +
 +DISABLE M6.  I'm not sure if this actually causes problems, but we don't have a toolchanger, so telling the machine to pick up a tool is pointless.
 +
 +==Feeds and Speeds Resources==
 +Onsrud has some good charts for chipload of various materials.
 + [[http://www.onsrud.com/xdoc/feedspeeds]]
 +
 +Once you know your chipload range, there are lots of online calculators to help you calculate RPM and feedrate.
