what kind of metal is the gear made from?

If the gear in question is what does the grinding it appears to be ceramic. Don't know where there are any gears in this thing.

It made of ceramic. Seems like very durable, like in my auto coffee machine.

The grinding assembly is ceramic. The remaining metal parts are probably chromed steel.

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 worm drive is made of 100% hardened carbon steel. The 1st reduction gear is made of POM (Polyoxymethylene) molded onto a hardened carbon steel bushing with a brass insert. The second reduction gear is also made of POM molded onto a hardened carbon steel bushing with a brass insert. The main drive gear is made of 100% hardened carbon steel. POM (Polyoxymethylene) is an engineering polymer that is used in many sizes of precision gears that require high stiffness, high abrasion resistance, high heat resistance, low coefficient of friction and excellent dimensional stability. We used to have all of the gears in our electric meat grinders made of hardened carbon steel, but in 2008 we changed to having both of our reduction gears made out of the POM/steel. By changing these two gears to POM/steel (although they are more expensive than all steel) our grinders can now take a lot more abuse and they also run much smoother and quieter than a gear system made with all steel gears.

Probably from the manufacturer. mine broke on the 1st pack so I returned it. I think with the newer model they corrected that issue with a metal gear.

It is chain driven (not belt), so I believe it has metal gears. We were told by a technician that this was one of the best available for an inexpensive price.

It is made out of metal. I really like it. For the money, I think it is the best!

The part that is connected to the blender is metal coated in rubber and the gear wheel on the container is metal

It is metal. The Amazon description can tell you more. And I remember those metal of years ago, but I remember how I loved it. Just wish I still had those treasures of days gone by now. Hope it works out for you and I hope I helped you somewhat.

Just got mine in yesterday. I can confirm that the gears are metal and the gear box is very easy to open-up and grease.

The pedals are metal along with the cranks. The reflectors on the pedals are made of strong plastic.

it's made of steel all the way around very durable. Husband loves it for his line of work which is heavy equipment.

Its metal might be aluminum I tend to think it maybe zinc......but metal for sure.....

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

Although servos such as these are commonly plastic geared, these ones are actually metal geared.

It's made of metal. Not bad for the money. I've had mine for three month on my airsoft gun and is still dead on.yes I had to grind the mount to make it fit tight.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

Metal, but the plasticish ties around the handles have come off for me at this point. Also, they are not ALL-METAL, as the skull-crushers on the ends are made out of plastic, as I have previously mentioned. They do have a tendency to pop off after being used, but I popped them back on each time and they work. I have had these swords for a number of years now and they are still a fine addition aside from my previously mentioned issues.

Metal.. It's a great knife, little heavy but that's good for a rescue knife.
