Ah I do have two of those. (I have an old carbon steel knife I use for killing my birds when it comes necessary). That will be easy. Thanks for the guidance.That looks like rust and the machinist won't put his tools to it that way I don't think. So either you or he will have to clean it. If you have Harbor Freight this is a good $3 investment:
Combination Sharpening Stone
If you hear a machinist talking about "stoning" something they are talking about running a stone like this over it to take the burrs off. I wouldn't hesitate to take a cheap stone like this with some kerosene and knock that rust off. Obviously you don't want to damage the surface but scratches don't hurt as it's getting machined anyway.

And at @mwebfj60, I might be a keeper but I've run twice. So far none has managed to keep me long... aside from my 60's.
