Machining mirror blanks to reduce weight

Interesting - this is a different way of making a segmented fused like/type mirror - machine the blank.

Looking at the images suggests that this is done on the blank and then the blank is ground to perfection as per normal.

Orion UK provide inferometric results on their premium mirrors, especially the ODK mirrors/scopes so obviously must work.
