Machine turned firewall?

[wfinnell]

I am working on my firewall and I was thinking about machine turning it. I saw a post here recently, I think the thread was about some other topic, where someone posted pictures of a firewall that had been machine turned. I searched and searched and can not find it.

Here is a link to the EAA video on machine turning:

I was trying to figure out how do the edges as the flanges have already been bent forward. I was thinking about starting out with a pass around the perimeter.

If anyone knows what is the best way to handle this situation or has pictures I would appreciate the advice.

Thank you,

Bigger grid/wheel. Not much of a photographer either
