WinCNC should alert you if your toolpath is going to violate physical limits of your machine given the current temporary zeros you have in place on all the axes. It’s going to be up to you to create toolpaths that stay on the table and are within the height limitations of your spindle. Create your toolpaths and if the toolpath simulation in Fusion 360 looks good and the toolpath preview in WinCNC looks good, you are probably going to be good to go. My suggestion is that you get your rapid and feed max rates set to the specs on your router and put in your machine travel dimensions for the axis limits. I’d be limited to a Z travel of maybe 2" for that cut vs the full Z travel capability of the machine of say 6". If I’m cutting tube in a jig, and my WinCNC Z zero is at the top of the tube, any Fusion 360 Z limits for the machine would no longer apply. If Fusion 360 had axis limits of my table size, those would not apply if my operating zero was not at the table origin. If I put a sheet of material on my router and set the X and Y zeros in WinCNC somewhere in the middle of the sheet for where I want to start cutting, Fusion 360 knows nothing of that. From what I can tell, they are mostly (exclusively?) used for machine simulation in Fusion 360. I’m not sure how much the axis size settings matter in the Fusion 360 machine setup. I don’t have a machine file to post for you to import. I have a Camaster Stinger, which is controlled by WinCNC, so the mileage on these comments may vary.
