Although Vcarve Pro is useful for traditional engraving and carving specific to wood work, I prefer Fusion 360 for my design aspect. I have a ready to go router table in Fusion 360 and I figured it would be a relatively easy project to start learning how to use the CAM side of Fusion, since it’s all, essentially, flat planes. I was curious how many other users Fusion for their toolpaths, and if there is any changes I need to make prior to generating gcode for the X-Carve? Thanks!
You need a post processor specific for your gcode sender. (Inventables have a Easel PP for F360 in case you prefer Easel or UGS as sender)
F360 CAM is very powerful and will do anything your X-Carve is able to perform.
I read some prior posts with people talking about using G28 and having issues with the z axis start position, has this been remedied, or is it still a concern?
Is there any reason to avoid using the Easel post processor? That’s what I had been using for Vcarve and it had been fine so far. Is that the same case for Fusion?
No, if Easel works for you… use it 
Download the F360 PP available at Inventables and you are pretty much ready to go.

Okay great, because I do use a relay to control my spindle. That sounds easy enough, now I just need to input my tool library and feed rates into yet another program for the third time in as many weeks. Sigh.

the Attached file is a modified post that moves your Z up to almost the limits at the end of the program before it moves to x and y home. I almost had a crash when i first started using it because that Z move wasn’t in there.
