i understand the anodized finish was ground off, leaving a smooth shiny surface in relief areas- but on the anodized surfaces, did you have to hand finish them smooth first, to remove mill marks, or is the CNC machine that good that it can produce "ready for paint" parts...?


Those were all anodized without any hand work. The machine is a 13,000 lb. production machine. It's very accurate so with proper planning, machining marks can be minimized or eliminated. A lot of it has to do with the tool selection...and having a decent library of choices.
