In the old days, they finished the pan interiors more than they do now. I've known people who buy a modern cast iron pan and have a machine shop smooth out the cooking surface.

I just used an orbital sander on mine. It does scrambled eggs no probt.

  I find that the eggs get sucked into the motor, gumming it up beyond repair. It’s better to use a drill with an abrasive disc.

Yup, it's this. Lodge pans are good for the price but part of that price is they skip the polishing, so the surface is basically just what comes out of the sand cast. The old griswald pans are prized by bargain hunters because of their near glass like smoothness. I dated someone that had a huge collection she'd found via craigslist and the like. Cooking with the smaller pans was really fun.

  I highly recommend these pans for that reason: https://fieldcompany.com/products/field-cast-iron-skillet https://fieldcompany.com/products/field-cast-iron-skillet
