I believe there were somewhere around 10 lathe operations and 1 CNC operation on a Fadal. Roughly 1.5-2 hours per wheel. Of the 10 lathe operations, 6 were to create the recesses on each side (3 per side), 2 were to true up up both sides (1 per side), 1 to take the diameter down to size and the last was to create the groove where the tread goes. The Fadal operation was used to break some of the edges and then cut out the pattern in the middle.
