Hi Dean, Gene, This is coming from a Toolmaker and I also make guitars. If it were metal I'd say yes all but the final finish could be done on the machine. Knowing wood the way I do I have to say Dean is right about the tearout. As a toolmaker and woodworker I understand first hand that just need to be done by hand with a file. If you look closely at Deans picture you can see little bits of tearout with just that small cut.
