Is this set made out of steel? Can it press steel race bearings using a shop press?

Yes, the drivers are made out of tool steel. I believe you could press out a bearing race using a close fit driver, I've only used mine on brass bushings but they'll work fine for small bearings.

Yes, it is steel. It is very sturdy. We absolutely loved how easy it wa to set up too! Great product!

Yes, it was made from steel. For detail, search Internet on " How induction cooktop works" or subjects like that.

It has a standard external bearing bottom bracket w/shims to fit 68 mm or 73 mm shell widths. The external bearings are also sealed to help keep grime out. I used this to replace an old Octalink bb crankset. I don't believe you can use this for press fit bikes since I don't think they are threaded.

I only use the 2 sets provided so I am not sure. Do not not like the eject button, diffficult to press and releases only one beater smoothly, the other you have to pull out.

The press base, toggle, lever sleeve, and turret ring are cast iron; the turrets (the thingie with 4-holes) are aluminum. Other parts - the rods, lever, etc. - are stainless steel. I've been loading for about two years, between 100 to 200 rounds a week, and love the thing. Will eventually go progressive, but the 4-hole classic turret press has been great to learn on. It's sturdy, if mounted properly to a bench or stand, durable, and reliable. It's a good investment for the beginner and low-volume reloader.

If you mean the piece that advances the plunger then yes I think, at least it is made of metal. The only non-metal bit on this press appears to be the actual plunger. it is made of plastic.

I would have to say no. Its built very well but not as heavy duty as my stock sets. its a lighter aluminum not a cast.

The pulleys are metal. Non-magnetic. They seem adequate. Overall, I am quite pleased with this press for light to moderate bench top use.

I believe it is a metal bushing type of thing. I can't see any ball bearings. I went to the manufactures web site and if I had made it with ball bearings, I would have mentioned it. They did not. I can say that it is very well made and the peddle operation is very smooth. Even with tension applied it is consistent pressure. I am giving you the link to the manufacturer, I am sure your will be able to ask them about the ball bearings. Sorry I can't say for certain if it is or is not. http://www.battlecreekequipment.com/product_detail.cfm?pid=76

The set comes with a sharpening steel. You can probably find tutorial videos on YouTube showing how to use a steel if you're unfamiliar with this tool.

Ron I have not tried steel. but with plastic (PVC, PPHD) works so good! feed rate for plastic x , y 100 mm/Min. z 50 mm/Min.. I tried aluminum once feed rate x y 50mm/min z=10 mm/min., deep for z<=0.254mm tool bit 1/8 diameter, 2 flutes.....Yes too slow! But It's CNC. It's glad to be able to help you. Victor

I think it is made of die-cast zink alloy like the rest of the tool. Only the post is made of steel. Very light, it is not stable at all. I do not recommend it.

This is a front axle bearing, so nothing needs to be pressed. Rear axle bearings would only need to be pressed on these explorers

The ball bearings are ceramic but the races are steel. Fortunately there is no metal to metal contact, thus no chance of rust. These are extremely fast!!!! Very smooth, and impeccably quiet!

They are not steel... it's more like a pressed board material that is very durable. I really like mine.
