Creating First CNC Plasma G-Code Using Fusion360 With a Floating Head

Link to CAD Models and Plans: https://bit.ly/ToshDavisCNCFiles
My website to buy some of the custom metal parts: https://toshdavis.com/products/cnc-plasma-build-plans
I've started to sell some of the parts to make the build easier for you.

Check out my playlist for the complete build below. In this video, I go over Fusion 360 and how to use it to generate your G-Code. I also go into detail about how to use Fusion 360 with a floating head. Some back story this is my 3rd build of a CNC plasma table. The first build you see in this video, while the second one I made was for a friend, featured in the THC video on my channel. This design is based on the design I designed for my friend. Hope this video helps.

Notes:
* These are the linear rails I bought, though because I don't have space in my shop I have to keep my machine outside and these rails have rusted, just keep this in mind
** I know the linked Stepper Motor Driver is unavailable. I just wanted to link the exact one I used. The second link is a driver that looks similar, I just have not used it so can't guarantee anything
