I am working on a Marlin Model 60 stainless steel casting and having some issues. Can anyone share their experiences in this kind of casting?
Not a pro, but I once did a similar project. I used higher quality steel for better results and eased up on the sanding process to avoid too much material loss.
I agree, start by ensuring the steel you have is of good quality. Also, cooling the steel slowly can help prevent the formation of any unwanted structures within the metal.
When I did my casting, I realized that accuracy in temperature plays a big role too. Make sure to be as accurate as possible when heating. Hope that helps!
