Is the grinding disk on this sander made of plastic or metal?

The sanding platen is metal with a white teflon coating for easy removal of the adhesive sanding discs.

It is metal. It's a nice little sander not a lot of HP, good for small work.

Nope, plastic. You need to get up to the BV5600 (or higher) model to see a metal impeller.

The whole thing is plastic, with the exception of screws and hinges but it is a very strong plastic used on the ram. The basket portion is thinner but does the job of containing the cans to be crushed, after all the weight is minimal. At first I thought a metal crusher would be better but when you think about it soda is acid and it degrades metal ,so plastic really is a better alternative. Best of all this crusher is fun and fast to use and I use it a lot. It's holding up quite well. When and if I wear it out I'll definitely buy another one cause it makes short work of one more chore.

Metal and plastic. I've had mine for long enough time and several jobs for it to break. Still runs like it did when I first got it. I thought it would be disposable after a couple jobs but it seems like it might be around for a while.

According to the description, the body is made of chrome plated steel; and the rollers and cutters are made of anodized aluminum. Looking at my machine, this seems to be an accurate description.

I want to say plastic . I was dumb and bought a used machine guaranteed for 6 months and sure enough 5 and a half months later it quit so I threw it out. It was to say the least a disappointment and another thing it is a tiny piece of machinery

If you are referring to the gear that adjusts the grind size then it appears to be made of stainless steel. The actual grinders are ceramic.

The one that I got was metal. My OEM one had the bearing break out of it and I ordered this one. It was a good replacement and has worked well on my craftsman 42" deck.

Heavy plastic. It is very sturdy. I doubt you will find a metal mixer under $300-$400.

Metal. Almost the entire mower is metal except the wheels/tires and rubber rollers at the rear of the mower. It is very well made. This is my second American Lawn mower. The first one lasted about 12 years.

It is hard to tell at first but with much tapping I think it is plastic. I have used this mixer for a couple of years. The slow start is a huge plus and it sits solidly when not in use.

The random orbital sander is more or less a finishing sander mainly for wood or plastic. A disc sander used to reduce welds or heavy metal is a rather rough sander. If you were to use a random orbital sander to do more than remove paint from steel, you would be sanding for a long time.

The entire machine is solid stainless steel, including the solid SS Auger which is held in place by a very tough Nylon bushing. Ooops, aside for one bolt (not part of the grinder itself) which goes through the wood handle holding it to the SS Arm is basic cadmium plated steel.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor. All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

Hi there, It is definitely made out of metal! It's a great hole puncher. I hope this helps.

It is plastic but a good hard plastic! The drill is great and the hard case that comes with it is very good, you will be happy with this drill
