Feature Request: Please add the ability to run a cnc finishing pass that does not have to cut air

I am not CAD savy. I want the ability to set a roughing pass process with the cnc, switch tools, and run a finishing pass where the tool does not have to cut a bunch of air. It can follow the contour of what it knows it has already cut.

For advanced possibilities you need to learn more potential cam software.

Here is a official tutorial:

@xchrisd, while you are certainly correct that learning Fusion360 is a valuable thing to do, it isn’t really what was being requested. I think there are a lot of us who use Luban for 3 and 4-axis CNC that would like to be able to perform multiple sequential tool passes (i.e. roughing then finishing) natively rather than trying to figure out how to make Fusion360 talk to the Snapmaker. Is that something that can be entered into the “feature to be developed” backlog? Note that Fusion360 doesn’t recognize Snapmaker at all so translating from Fusion360 to the Snapmaker is non-trivial, especially when doing 4-axis work.
