Then, on our shaft (#4 main engine on the USS America), it was even more of an adventure because the shaft was tweeked a bit and didn't turn exactly true. So, they had to scrap it so the shaft was supported and didn't bind even with the bend. That said they don't look like any of the babbit scraping tools I have ever seen, and those guys had a wide variety of shapes and sizes as their disposal.
