What is this vise made of?

Steel. It is heavy and very robust. There are two flat "anvil" surfaces on which one can hammer stuff. You should mount it on a solid/sturdy work bench and bolt it down securely (I used thru bolts). I'm very happy with it.

This vise is cast iron. If you put a steel bar in this vise and beat on it with a sledge hammer the vise will probably break. Ductile iron is better. Forged steel is best. I have an old 4-inch forged steel vise that has held 1/4" by 4" steel bar stock that I have bent 90 degrees with an 8-pound sledge many a time, and it's still intact. You can't do that with cast iron. On the other hand, if you want to hold a chain saw bar in place while you file the teeth or hold steel bar for cutting with your Sawzall, this vise will work just fine.

metal. steel, I think. But I will warn you - the design is poor. You can easily bend the left tang and open the box.

I have not installed a vise, but I would not have any hesitation as long as the vise was being used for drilling, planing, etc. I would not use it for high torque uses such as bending strap steel, etc.

I used that thing this last winter and do not remember what the pole was made of. It was sturdy and did not bend or break. The saw worked very well and I was well satisfied.

It is made of steel . If this is for the product made by Pip Posse, the thread is metric. I have 2 mounted in my trailer and two mounted in my van to hold spare wheel sets for dirt bikes. Good product.

The body of the jig appears to be made of injection molded ABS plastic, although I can't see any maker's markings to confirm this. The construction is quite thick and when combined with the material (ABS is a high strength, high impact resistant plastic) it is very strong and rigid.

This vise does not have a bearing raceway or ball bearings. It has ways similar to a mill or lathe.

I have this vise as of March 2012, & it did NOT come with wood inserts. I am using a scrap piece of poplar that is not bolted on, & it keeps falling off. Have to fasten ..

It's a bunch of different wood pressed together with wax in the scabbard and the handle is glued on. The steel was great, not sure which it was. I took it apart and made a new sword.

It's made if press wood. I've bought two of them and they look good as well as hold tons of our DVDs. Can't beat it for the price.

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

I don't know and there was no packaging that told anything about what it was made of. It just came in an unmarked cardboard box.

its a great vise but like everyone states, it does not have the best assembly instructions included . sort of when you was a kid putting together model airplanes. just go with what looks right.
