I'm no expert machinist; I started learning how to use CNC a week ago. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

I didn't really mean to cut all the way through the piece- just contour the inside edge, then do whatever machining operations later to free the wheel from the blank. I would imagine that for these wheels, a contour to the same depth would take far less time than the full pocket they're taking out of the wheels. And save some more of that precious 7075!
