Hi Mark C mostly steel, a lot of it hardened to rockwell 55c I think. All hardened sewing machine components. Silicon carbide was good for cast iron.

I have a J & S 540 with sealed for life ball bearings. I am having problems with finish even though I dress the wheels, I am getting ripple on surface. I have tried several different wheels but is always the same. I do not have a balancer.. I have a very old Churchill about same size but never had this problem.

Hello Christopher

Welcome to the forum.

This is an old-ish thread, if you don't get a reply soon it might be worth starting off a new thread to re-ask your question.
