what is the body material? can it be machined?

Steel...not sure how "hardened it is". As for machining, a skilled machinist with the proper set up/tools can probably alter it into something else. Not sure why you would do that.

That seems acceptable. I believe there is enough material to shave some away, and still have the lock operate properly. Have fun.

Greetings Lisa,The material is a PVC plastic and it is cuttable but we recommend a PVC saw which has fine teeth to make a clean cut.If you have any questions, please let us know.

Most of the work I have done is with small parts.Makerbot. works well at this.most parts have micro lines thst do not effect machines,but Jewelry would have to be sanded and finidhed to your likes.

The parts do not stipulate what they are made off, but I believe it to be more fiberglass than anything else. For it is not a flexible material, like the original parts.

Yes it looks like separate piece made with same material as main body, but it doesn't seems to be easy removable and can be damaged while removing

It is made of metal. I absolutely love mine!. Great for working kinks and stiffness out of the neck and upper back.

I'm sorry... I don't know. I got this as a gift for my massage therapist and no longer have it. I get to use it every week when I go for a massage but I don't know what materials it is made of.

It's made of plastic with metal cutting blades... Be careful though as there is some false advertising so make sure it actually does you want. Read my review for details.

The body seem to be made from a very thin metal casting. Actually the unit that I purchased was delivered with a vertical break (not a crack ; a break) on the casing at the rear of the unit. I had informed Amazon about the defect. The rest of the unit seem to be made from durable material.

It is made of a plastic material, I think it would be pretty easy to cut and/or punch holes in it.

No metal parts. Machine is not worth a crap! I bought two and neither worked.

I tried a Thera Cane today at my phys therapy session. Was great. The one I used was made of some form of metal. What is the Body Back Buddy made out of please?

No the body is fiberglass. I had to cover it with beeswax to stick pins. I also bought a different one that worked. Hope this helps.

I bought it before and like it very much. I am mechanical engineer. So, I believe it's some kind of "composite" material that is reinforced inside with high strength filaments/fibers. Very strong!

Perhaps on the delicate cycle. It is sewn well and the body should hold up. I don't know how well the vinyl parts will do, though. Good luck!

It is plastic and I found that after changing the blade, the screw stripped the plastic hole. Now I am unable to tighten the blade and it does not work. Very disappointed. If the body was magnesium alloy probably would not have happened.
