yeah, they can be done by hand but it takes a lot of patience and re-measuring
if you do go this way make sure you use both nut-to-fret and fret-to-fret measurements and recheck before and after slotting. do it all twice in traditional measure twice cut once fashion. That's 6 measurements before each fret slot, 2 after. It can take a while but you get into a flow and its not so bad. Do the same on a fanned fret and you double your work
but then you get pre-slotted boards or fret scale templates/jigs which do make it all quicker. The downside is they severly limit your options.
I mix it up, Standard woods in standard scales tend to be purchased pre-slotted just for time efficiency. For alternative woods in standard scales I use the fret slotting jig. For alternative woods in alternative scales, I fall back on the hand measuring and slotting or even paying someone else to do it

I just spotted it is the same one as Crimson supply.
Get a couple of different diameters and you're good to go.
