Is the handle to raise and lower the presser foot plastic or metal?

Its actually both it has a plastic coat over the metal lever. If your wondering about its durability its a very well put together machine... It runs smoothly and sews very quietly

the handle is plastic and has no bearings. It has a small plastic arm attached to the handle. I've been using a lot and works well

This presser foot is a snap on foot. If your maching has a low shank and accepts snap on feet you should be okay.

All metal. Rubber over the metal handle. Feels solid in the hand. It will handle alot of abuse.

Plunger stem is metal while the press is a plastic with a rubber ring around it. It's held up very well with our constant use and hasn't affected the taste of our different teas we brew in it. Hope this helps.

This is not the one I have. Mine has plastic lid and base, but interior "works" of the Press are metal.

Yes. There is a knob on top that can be twisted to decrease or increase the pressure on the presser foot.

No, however in the "up" position the presser foot doesn't raise up as high as normal machine so little fingers can't fit under the foot.

It is plastic. The holder is ok but I wish I had got the metal one. Hope this helps.

Plastic handle with metal punch. I've pried in things with it and it's held up. I wouldn't recommend doing that though since it isn't designed for it.

Plastic, but its very durable. And does not get hot at the portion you hold it.. I have left my machine running for a few hours (several water changes) and the handle portion never got too hot to hold.

I don't know. I bought this press for a gift and can't remember if there were plastic parts in the inside.

Both handles are high quality plastic coating stainless and the knob is a solid hard plastic knob. It has high quality structural integrity

The base, pole and arms are all metal. The slide mechanism to raise and lower the umbrella is a hard plastic resin. The handle to raise and lower the umbrella appears to be metal, but I'm not 100% sure of its' construction.

A presser foot comes with the machine. It's probably a bit smaller than a standard presser foot, but I've had no problems using it.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.
