where to start with v carve and fusion360

[myusernamewastaken]

Hello! I am a middle school teacher and i just got a axiom ar8 pro v5 in my wood shop. I have it assembled and got the manual controls working. I have been looking around the forms about people using fusion 360 to design and act as the post processor for my mill. I have seen that it can be done and can work very well, I'm just lost at where to start. I know how to use fusion decently I've created a few things for 3d printing and metal cnc mills but with those the machines could be brought up in the fusions pre sets to make life easier. I know you can set up a custom machine loadout for fusion but the machines brand new and I don't want to go in blindly 
vcarve is also a option but I would have to pay for that and i am already familiar with fusion 
thank you for your help
Mr.O
