Is the roller PVC or steel?

The body is steel, the housing for the resistance mech is plastic but the roller is metal.

It is made out of steel. The knob on the bottom adjusts the tension. It's very loud but with headphones one doesn't hear much. I am happy with the purchase and its easy to assemble.

It is indeed steel. This is a superior product in function and design (appearance).

It's a thicker gauge steel and larger, but not unmanageable weight considering you roll the lid onto the rollers and lid holder during use.

Heavy gage PVC. I bought it as a gift for my niece and nephew to use as a ball pit. You will need a lot of balls to fill it if that's what your thinking.

I believe it's steel. I use for reptiles so I didn't have to worry about any water issues.

The one with steel. Don't buy plastic. They will not last. This on is great. It comes with two different size attachments to steam with!

the rollers are metal, some of them came a little stuck on mine but they do loosen up or you can move them around with pliers to loosen them up quicker

Sorry, don't know if it's pvc. It is not a rigid, hard plastic, but a pliable, soft plastic.

It is made of a flexible corrugated plastic. Not sure if it is a PVC or nylon origin, but it worked fine for my application.

Hi Ray, the gears on my machine are made of metal. In fact the entire machine is metal except for the roller on the handle.Hope this helps...Jim

The actual reel and reel housing is all heavy duty plastic.But the center of the reel that the handle and (at the other end)where the water hose is attached to is metal.It's a strong pipe like center. I can't say what kind of metal that is.And it's not stated on the package.But a magnet does stick to it, so I doubt that it stainless steel. We've had super good experience with this style of Ames hose reel.

Marcato claims the rollers are made of anodized aluminium alloy. Source: http://www.marcato.it/en/shop/marcato-classic/atlas-1-2/atlas-180 The appearance and weight of the rollers on the one we bought match marcato's claim of anodized aluminium alloy rollers. See snapshot I uploaded. Good luck!

The one I received is all metal. The only plastic part is the wheel at the bottom, used to tighten the the vice onto a table. Rubber is used as a pad against the table and as vice jaw pads. And a good little vice it is.

Steel. Don't know thickness but it seems very heavy. I am very happy with this purchase

I remember that it was pvc free. I sent it as a gift but that is something I try to catch when buying toys for children.

The rollers are a hardened steel, this is an incredible Mill and well worth every dime spent on it. I'm doing 50 lb plus runs in minimal time and all grains are milled to my desired settings

steel....no plastic parts. My very picky husband who will only use good equipment. No "junk". He was well pleased.
