Aren't vinyls typically pressed, not carved from a blank? I wonder how accurate they can actually get if they have to carve every notch into the groove.

Master is carved (cutted), and then reverse master pressed, from which all the records are then pressed, if i remember correctly.

The original master is cut. Only subsequent copies are pressed. This is the standard way records are made

You need to carve the master to have something to press from.
