Your freecad version number please?
Personally I have 0.18.4-6.5 currently, and all the parts I've machined via Freecad have been on the 0.18 base. 3 axis Path was added in 0.18 and in theory 4 axis version will be part of 0.19. Although not sure when that may appear?
Freecad is somewhat quirky when one has been brought up on Autocad style drawing packages. I still drop back to Turbocad for a quick set of profiles, but using the Sketcher Workbench is getting easier. It does not work well pulling dxf profiles into sketcher simply because the relations between lines are not easy to guess, however it can be a quick route once one gets more used to manually adding those relations. Sketcher from scratch does seem a little faster when conventional drafting needs a lot of construction lines ... relations mechanise that process nicely.
