How can I tell if I have a cast gear or a forged gear? Both are steel, right?

unfortunately I can't answer that question. I maybe able to cross reference an Original number off your distributor.

I have steel gear in my 93 mustang 5.0. Try doing some research with what you have. Keep in mind this gear material is primarily synced to cam. So steel cam...steel gear....cast cam..cast gear.

The factory seconds are usually stamped with a "2" somewhere out of the way such as the underside of the crossguard. If you don't find anything stamped into the sword, you should be good.

I think this set was forged. When they came they were dull we had to buy a wet stone and sharpen them

The reason it is called "stainless"is because of the fact that the alloy is impervious to oxidation (rust)........must be a counterfeit! Mine is awesome and is as advertised.Love using the set.

I believe steel. I purchased the mill stan irons just because of the reviews. I believe that these are ok, was disappointed with Mill Stan's customer's sevice. He sent me a different size , then challenged my skill level ........very arrogant?

Husqvarna does not disclose the exact composition of the steel. It is, however, "high carbon" and hand forged. I can attest personally to the quality of the forging. I own three Husqvarna wood handle axes: small forest, carpenters and hatchet. They are all of superb quality and equate to the craftsmanship of even Gransfors Bruks or Wetterlings. There are at least a half dozen online reviews that all make the same point: these Husqvarna axes are equally capable as some three times the price. The heads are forged by hand in either HultsBruks/ Hultafors Bruks forges or Wetterlings forges and branded Husqvarna. Husqvarna does not disclose the exact composition of the steel.

Steel. It's perfect for regular AV and pro gear. Warning: It is NOT intended for computers - the 22" depth is too little for many rack mounted servers.

steel. this is a quality tool. It is identical to the Oregon one that costs twice as much.

This pulley is cast aluminum if this is for a gas engine I think you want Cast Iron to steel

I bought one about a week ago and it was stonewashed. The seller was Amazon. As far as I know, Cold Steel is no longer making the Spartan in the bead-blasted finish. So if you order from Amazon, you'll probably get one that is stonewashed.

Blackhawk! USED to use genuine Bourdon Forge buckles. However, These have buckles made by Daesung Forge, Korea. The foreign manufacturer claims they are made of "Alloy Steel." The genuine ones, made by Bourdon Forge,CT, USA forged from 4340 Ordinance steel, to Rockwell RC 38-42. I have had genuine Bourdin Forge buckles tested alongside two of the pieces from Daesung. It is like comparing a grade 8 aircraft bolt to a utility grade hardware store bolt. The genuine article is better in every way, from metallurgy, to hardness (RC 40 vs RC 5), to manufacturing quality. When you look at these side by side, it is obvious to an untrained eye, that the Daesung product is visually inferior. The end play on the adjuster bar is over 1/8", where it should be no more than .062". The checkering looks rolled on and is flat, instead of being pointed diamonds, the slots look like they were cut with a cut-off wheel.

They appear to be cast iron. As best I can tell, this is a well constructed heavy duty bandsaw. I am well pleased with it although the blade that came with the exstension kit was not very sharp.

mine had a steel gear with a plastic bendix drive! same as the original! had to do slight modification to mounting surface were it meets the block to fit totally flat!

If the gear in question is what does the grinding it appears to be ceramic. Don't know where there are any gears in this thing.

Not sure how to tell. They are very strong however. They seem to be the same color as the pots so I would lean towards Steel.

They appear to all be stainless steel. The upper part ("plates" that hold the gears and attach to the handles) are kind of shiny for stainless and look like some kind of plated metal- they are shiny like chrome, and very solid. I do not see any evidence of rusting on the gears or anywhere after a few months of use. This device works great.

Not so far. Only disappointment is that the steak knives were stamped steel unlike the rest of the set that was forged. Kind of misleading when the set is advertised as forged.
