I have picked up a circa1970 set of casting for Stuart #9 engine. The
crankshaft is listed as cast steel. I am having difficulty getting a decent finish. I am using a cobalt tool. I am within .012" and am afraid to go much further until I can get a decent finish. My lathe is a 6"x18" Atlas. Any tips or insight would be welcome. Rich
