I have been working with my Presto and I can get the music to cut in the blank. However I can't get rid of this terrible hiss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you cleaning your stylus correctly? Make sure that it's squeaky clean before every cut! Also, with Neumann lathes the stylus is heated which prevents hiss. I'm not familiar with Presto lathes but if they have that function then make sure it's working correctly.
