Sanded and ready for the router

Here are the completed blanks ready to be machined into baffles by our CNC router. This operation is precise to within about 4 milli inches, or about the thickness of a sheet of paper. The process involves a series of operations done by numerous router bits spun at high rates of speed, but advanced through the wood in slow, iterative paths.
