Most of today's batch leans heavily toward DXF file promos, fire pit catalogs, and short-form filler. This John Fuller video stands out as the one with genuine educational substance — a walkthrough of using Fusion 360's CAM workspace to generate toolpaths for a plasma cutter.
For anyone running a CNC plasma table, the gap between "I have a sketch" and "I have clean, kerf-compensated G-code that won't crash my torch" is where most beginners get stuck. Fusion 360 isn't the most obvious choice for 2D plasma work — it's primarily marketed for 3D milling — but it's free for hobbyists and surprisingly capable once you know how to configure the post-processor, set lead-ins and lead-outs, manage pierce delays, and handle kerf width compensation.
Even without a description provided, this kind of software-focused tutorial tends to deliver more transferable knowledge than a finished-product showcase. The skills carry over to any 2D profiling work — waterjet, laser, router — and learning Fusion's CAM environment opens doors to 3D toolpath generation later.
Caveat: with no description text supplied, the depth is unconfirmed. But the title is direct, free of clickbait, and the channel sits comfortably under the 10k threshold.
