V-Carve in Autodesk Fusion 360

I am new to CNC (only got my Carvey about two weeks ago).
I have had pretty good success with Fusion 360. (have been using it for some time with 3d printing.

Doing V-carving is super simple;
1/ create a sketch in fusion with the writing / font/ size you want.
2/ select cam mode in fusion
3/ create a setup (with the stock you plan to use), select a v-carve bit. (ensure orgin point is correct)
4/ select the 2d engrave function, select the writing to be cut
5/ the tool path is automatically created, you can preview it under simulate
6/ generate the g-code (post process)
7/ import g-code into easel.
8/ carve

attached was my first test on some scrap stock. It was using the Inventables - 30degree Solid Carbide Single Flute Engraving Bit. (no cleanup, no sanding). 12mm high writing, Lucenda Calligraphy font


I’ve ordered a 60 degree and 90 degree bits.
