Is the angled blade clamp made of steel, aluminum or plastic?

Aluminum, you can grind it down, because it does get in the way of sharpening certain angles.

It says steel but it's hard to tell and it works great under certain conditions. I found the length of the handle awkward. I am buying aToro electric snow shovel for my walkways/ dog paths and removing snow from my deck. Had I known.

Metal. Of some sort. Possibly aluminum as it is light weight. That said it is sturdy and works well. Used it last night to get juice out of a Naval orange for cranberry bread. Good tool for large fruit- juiced a Ponderosa lemon a while back with no trouble

The handle itself is plastic but it is attached to a metal brace that is also the clamp with a non-slip pad. After fives years it's never worked itself loose when the surface is cleaned and properly dry

Partially it is steel but a large part is also plastic which needs to put on the cutting device properly or won't work. This I'm reading is quiet is for other models as this one has a more powerful motor to do the job.

I assume it aluminum, it heavy but not Steel heavy, but I'm not sure sorry, its a great mount though, I love it.

It is a very nicely anodized aluminum. FYI well made, excellent tool, really gets the job done right. Fast, easy and neat.

The black jaws of the clamp appears to be sturdy plastic--I thought it was painted steel of some sort til I took a knife to it. It's held my 45 pound mountain bike and spun through a full 360° stopping at various points to work on it.

I spoke to my brother-in-law and he drilled a hole in various tables (he moves the lamp around a lot) and was able to put the "screw" part in those holes and tighten the clamp really tight. All parts are metal, not plastic. He thinks it is a really good product. I hope this helps you and sorry for the delay.

It is made of plastic, but don't let that fool you. It is very durable and does not feel light weight with the blade.

The handle to the crank is hard black plastic, not of metal as shown in one of the pictures, if they changed is not what they are selling us. The twist-end for the clamp is metal. I dropped the handle many times and remains intact, it is of very good quality.

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.

The one I have is all metal for the arm and grip. The arm is aluminum and the blade is stainless. It looks like it is painted. Has held up good over the last year.

The blade is stainless steel, but the body (where the electronics are) is ABS Plastic. It is a very well made housing that given reasonable care should last for some time, but like any precision tool, you might not want to run over it.

The blade is steel along with the adjustment screw parts. The handle/case with the electronics is plastic.If it is used properly as you would use an expensive caliper or micrometer, it should last a long time.

The clamp is made of delrin plastic, the octopus flexible snake portion is steel. It holds whatever position you twist it into very well.

Steel, but I wouldn't advise buying this. With hardly a few weeks of use the blade became dull.
