Given he uses Fusion360, I'd bet he also uses Fusion360 for CAM - its CAM is pretty awesome - the value of
integrated CAD/CAM instead of dealing with separate CAM is very compelling.

Sibling post says they use Fusion 360, not the GP post that talks about the potential of freecad.
I'm in a similar boat - I use OpenSCAD for tons of 3d-printing and laser-cut work (I even wrote a package manage for it - https://github.com/lostapathy/scad_bundler ). But as I've moved into subtractive manufacturing, I find myself using Fusion 360 for reasonable access to CAM tools. As you note, having that integrated is very compelling.
