QUestion
Pre-machined scales mean that, for the most part, they are pre-cut to a rough fit of the knife handle profile. All curves and angles are cut for you but some material removal will be required to get a nice fit with the liners/bolsters.
The scales can be "finished" with as little as sand paper or a $1000 worth of fancy equipment that some people have aquired (coughdenniscough)(insert smile here).
Read over the past postings and they will give you a good idea as to what may be required, mostly that will depend on the extent you may want to embellish your work. Hope this helps
