They are all metal besides some of the follow focus fasteners that are plastic.

You can buy metal gears separately for $10. We had one with the regular hard (plastic?) gears they come with, lasted a few years

They are metal. When I received mine the screw and mounting block were missing so I had to return them.

Not sure which gears you are talking about. Part of this is plastic, and most of it is stainless steel. The wheel that tightens the parts that get attached, is plastic. It works very well, whatever the parts are made of.

The Frame is Metal, the Foot Pedals are plastic. I just love it and use it inside and outside. It is very sturdy and is a good deal for the price.

Most of it is wood, the only plastic thing on it is the gears. Hope that helps. It's really sturdy and our son loves it.

My husband bought these for a sales event. I'm sorry to say that he can't remember if they were plastic or metal.

The ones I got were metal, they look great, but I did hear some of them are plastic too... I would call them to make sure..

The gear is plastic. However, the cutting blades are metal. My LEM has processed 5 deer since I've had it without any problems. I would recommend it to anyone processing meat. I love it.

The ones that came with my set were not plastic. I'm not sure of the metal makeup but I'm positive they were not plastic.

According to my daughter they are plastic with metal on them. This was purchased as a gift for my granddaughter :)

The auger screw is stainless, the blade is stainless and the round disc that the meat goes thru at the end is metal (not sure what material). I don't see any plastic gears at all. I have now ground about 15 batchs of chicken legs (for dog food) and it is absolutely wonderful. One time I didn't screw the ring that holds the blade and plate in tight enough, and I thought for a minute the machine was not good, but it was operator error. I screwed that piece on tight and it was great. I truly love this machine. Good luck.

Yes it is. The gears are metal as opposed to plastic gears in the KitchenAid mixer.

The pedals are metal along with the cranks. The reflectors on the pedals are made of strong plastic.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.
