Hi peteinkl,
Thanks for support. I have just managed to get the machine working with Fusion 360. It has been working OK but I have been learning to use Fusion. (In a small way). Have not yet cut anything in anger and in fact have been doing dry runs without a cutter which was very useful and saved a lot of wasted wood!
Have bought double flute up cut bits so they should be good too.
Fusion’s great, but they’re about to make life hard. If you just want to do some test cuts or simple stuff, I’d actually recommend Easel. Free, easy and works - just be sure to make whatever you set up go to 0,0 in Easel and that will be home in GC - it’ll make sense when you try it out. I usually move the sled to where the bottom left is and then Set Home keeping stuff in the middle as much as possible.
To be honest, I probably use Easel more than Fusion now I think about it. It has it’s annoyances, ut it sounds like you want to do some initial cuts and be impressed. Here, try this: Video: How to use Easel to generate G-Code for Maslow
Once you have, don’t forget to post it What I Made Today! 
Hi Peteinakl
Thanks I might try. I am initially trying Fusion because we use it at work and my workmate is a guru but I guess I cannot bug him too much.
Have just been trying to upload image (of dinosaur) by converting from jpeg or png to def. Get image into Fusion but scale all wrong etc.
Keeps me off the streets 
Finally made first cuts. Very impressed with accuracy especially as I tested it at lower extremes. With a bit of help from my Fusion guru, we created nc file in Fusion from a clip art image.

Playing with Easel as suggested. It is certainly simple to use so probably work with it for most simple jobs. Thanks for the tip
well what a year it has been. Have had some success cutting things with Maslow and been impressed with its accuracy etc until now! Making reindeers for Christmas and managed to cut two with no trouble. On the third one on second to last pass, Z axis decided to try and bore through the job and then not respond correctly to raise, lower and zero commands. Rebooting a couple of times seemed to fix. Cut another couple successfully then on last one, G code stopped and spindle parked about halfway through the tool path. when I hit go again, the machine decided to go directly to home cutting a nice slot through the reindeers head!
