This tutorial demonstrates how to author a finishing toolpath in Fusion 360, in the context of aiming to utilize the CNC router in the KTH Architecture school Workshop.

Timestamps:
0:00 Evaluating the results of others to determine an endeavourable surface finish
2:02 Choosing a suitable tool for a parallel finishing toolpath
5:23 Estimating reasonable settings for spindle speed, feedrate, and pass depth
8:25 Adding a 3D Parallel toolpath, and selecting the tool
9:02 Make sure that the tool is assigned a correct tool holder number
9:40 Inputting Spindle speed and Feedrate
10:06 Adding a Machining boundary
11:05 ReSt Machining should have result of previous operation as its outset
11:13 Default Heights values are adequate
11:20 Defining Tolerance
11:32 Pass direction, Stepover, and cutting Both ways
12:21 Multiple depths will be disabled for this particular toolpath, since it is only 1 mm axial stock left from previous operations
12:32 No stock to leave
12:54 Verifying all manipulated values
13:20 Confirm the toolpath settings and let it generate
13:30 Simulating the toolpath and verifying absence of detected collisions
13:59 Showing estimated machining time and actual machining distance
14:11 Playback of the simulation; getting acquainted to the toolpath
16:07 Inputting the Machining time and Machining distance in the KTH_CNC Community Feeds and Speeds document; as well as some helpful notes for your CNC peers
17:43 Exporting the previewed stock as a mesh
18:08 Importing and viewing the previewed stock mesh in Rhino
18:59 Comparison between the different previewed stock meshes
19:16 Saving the document, and outro
