Is anybody going to check this out tomorrow morning? I just found out about it,

Nobody much complains about their cranks as long as the fit (length and Q

Not specifically. "Billet" is the bar stock of metal. You could use the
billet in a forging die setup (cold forged, hot forged or near-net forged
would be three common options), or
Since Billet Aluminum is just a chunk of Al, yes, they would be CNC.
