With the body in aluminum not steel (probably uncommon and expensive), have some concern if this is strong enough. Some say yes. Is it strong enough?

It is made of aluminum of sufficient thickness, so it is strong enough to do job it is designed for. Aluminum is not as hard as steel, but if you are planning to grind meat, even with bones (if you like their taste), rather than pieces of steel, it will not be damaged, it will stay usable. Aluminum is typically used for body of a meat grinder, so you should not worry. We have experience of very many years of usage of multiple manual (not electric) meat grinders with aluminum bodies; no damage to them.

Yes!!! Most assuredly! I haven't used it for grinding bones as stated it will do, but it hasn't slowed down with any of the wild game I have thrown in it. I would buy another tomorrow! I love, love it.

I has performed more than our expectations and I would suggest the purchase. If it doesn't it can be returned also. Regards, John Bumgarner

I have used it several times and there were no reasons for any concerns for the product's durability or strength. It is very dependable

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink

I think yes, it's carbon fiber is extremely strong and has a unique resistance to flexing and an unparalleled weightless feel. I have not physically compared the aluminum side by side with the carbon, but I have fired both.

I would say yes. The metal is thick. This is not a light metal that can be bend by hand easy

I'm not sure. It might be metal or a really sturdy aluminum since it's not that heavy.

I dont know exactly, considering its weight should be aluminium! It isnt heavy at all! Recomended!

I say it is strong enough. But, since you're a bit worried. You are better off reinforce it use some packaging tapes.

I cant tell it doesnt feel too heavy but I do think it can be aluminum or something lighter its definitely not metal heavy

To my knowlegde , its completely steel and I did not see any aluminium. Legs and the small round handle are thin compared to the body. Hope this helps.

I think that it can do it, the blade is aggressive, however I do not know how long it will stand up to the aluminum. It is very accurate for the money, good luck.

I'm not a metal expert or anything, but I would have to say, yes. However, it is crazy strong, if that is your concern. Our chair has been used for many people, now, and it's been plenty sturdy and everyone has felt secure. It's held up very nicely over the years.

I have not tried it but the quality of steel is really good and strong. Worst case scenario could be two things - it may get blackened or crack.

The pressing handle is pretty sturdy. I have had one before this and the handle was never a problem. I am not sure if body is steel or aluminum.

I doubt it, it isn't lightweight tubular metal with a cheap finish, looks like solid metal.

It is made out of aluminum, and I don't know the strength. I would not put a 200 pound person on it. Again....I don't know the strength.

No, it's too heavy for that. I'm pretty certain the shaft is steel. I particularly like the black sleeve over the shaft that makes it very easy to hold while I use it.

It seems that it would be strong enough but no one has tried. Bought this for my grown son who is very happy with it.
