Is the trunnion aluminum or cast iron?

And it will break the trunnions if you let the saw fall during moving. The good news is that the trunnions breaking will save the table.

I know the new answer is stainless. But I have used aluminum all my life and never had any problems. I know when I need another pan it will be aluminum. Lighter heats faster, cooks more uniformly. Aluminum would always be my choice.

The body is definitely non-ferrous; to me it looks and feels more like stainless than aluminum. The bottom is a ferrous metal, perhaps cast iron, clad by the same material as the body. No rusting or corrosion of any kind observed (also pointing to stainless as the product; aluminum kettles usually develop pitting). We do not let the pot boil to empty and we measure the water so that after use the pot is empty.

My guess is that it is aluminum. A magnet is not attracted to it so it is non-ferrous.

Nope, it's aluminized (a layer of shiny aluminum) over steel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminized_steel

If you're talking about the black part, no it's not aluminum. This was a good buy. I used to buy Farberware all the time until I had to return it 3x and was told they are now compromising their parts. I love electric perc coffee so for 40 some odd dollars and the size I feel I got a really good deal.

It is NOT aluminum. This thing is HEAVY-DUTY. It lifts my full dresser with no sweat. Glad I choose this one!

I believe it is cast aluminum, but it appears to be strong as it sits in a well made cone shaped steel bed in the safe. The walls and bottom of the safe are rolled steel and painted for moderate corrosion resistance.

I am not sure. The discription says aluminum steel. It works really good. can make rice without it boiling over, just for example.

It appears to be cast iron, it might be aluminum. Whatever it is made of it is made of sturdy construction.

No, mine is stainless steel, not cast iron. Works well though, and I just put it in the dishwasher when done.

It is not cast iron as it is very light, and it could be cast aluminum. It has the words "Pearl Life" on it which may be what it is made of. It cleans up great and I spray it with Pam before putting my batter in and they come right out.

I believe the material of the grill surface is different-- aluminum vs. cast iron. I've been told that this makes a huge difference.

No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal. As is copper. Cast iron or stainless steel may be used on induction cooktops. akb &lt;+)))&gt;&lt;

It's aluminum with a non-stick coating. I would have preferred cast iron, but I'm quite happy with it. Works great.

The table is cast iron. But the trunion is cast alum. Its sturdy enough. The fence is alright. I have resawn boards as wide at 8 inches before with a 3/4 blade with no problems. I would prefer a taller fence but this one is okay. I also have made bandsaw boxes with 1/8 inch blades with no problems. Its a good saw for the money. I had one issue with it and Rikon customer service was great and friendly. They had me going in less than an hour.
