How do we create a toolpath once we upload a file such as an SVG?

Watch the tutorial on 2D Toolpaths.

All of the videos are well done and will answer many questions. Not only watch them, but follow along in the program.

I would use hard maple.

The Move Speed is set to 140, but the Maximum Burn Rate is set to 1. Set the Maximum Burn Rate to 140, recalculate, and run the preview.

I would not recommend using a 0.125" diameter bit for profile cuts in 1.5" wood.
My preference is to profile with a 0.5" diameter bit for wood more than 1" thick, though I sometimes use a 0.25" diameter bit if it has a long enough cutting edge length.

I also recommend practicing restoring from backup: both individual files, as well as a full system restore.
Example:
Create a file, any file, nothing important.
After the backup has happened delete the file.
Now try to restore from backup.
