Is the Rack and Pinion really metal? Or discription is false? Please, provide picture of gearing.

I believe it is cheap "pig metal". Be very careful about buying this drill stand. It is very cheaply made. I needed it for a class project and had to end up scrapping it as it would not drill holes accurately. Sorry, I have no pictures of it.

I got two half rack pieces at the same time, one having the rack mounting and the other not. I cannot remember which piece of equipment the rack mounting came with. Sorry, James.

Good question, that info didn't come with the rack. I bought 2 of them and use them frequently. You'll have to contact the manufacture.

It has an attachment that comes around the side and you use the nut and bolt that comes with it and have to really, really tighten it. I had to use an adjustable wrench to get it super tight. Once I did get it to a point where it would no longer turn any more, and I actually put all my weight on it and jumped up and down on it, I wanted to make sure it was not going to budge. The cheap stuff I bought before broke so I didn't want it to do the same thing. And this has my husband's clothes on it and it holding about 100-125 lbs just on that middle bar. And has been on it now for a couple of months without any slippage. I absolutely LOVE these racks.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry! We are currently out of stock although it shows on the website there is a couple remaining and it should be updated in 24 hours to reflect the correct information. We do receive shipments weekly so please check back again on the website. Since we are out, I cannot check to see if the rack is also stainless steel and was not able to get the information from the manufacturer either pertaining to what the rack is made of unfortunately.Please check back soon!Ann

A magnet will not attach to the rack so that points to stainless. Please tell me if there are further reports of chrome rather than stainless!

The mount I received is machined aluminum.... use care when tightening the Steel setscrews or they will strip threads.

This is made in a sturdy fashion with metal gears. I have no problem with mine.

A very nice rack. Definitely worth the price. I painted mine to match my settings. I'll try to upload a few pics later.

Good question! Mine did not come with the bolts and I had to purchase hardware separately. I was surprised and it was inconvenient. However, Rack is AWESOME!

The poles are metal and the joints are very tough plastic. Whether the joints are really called PVC, I am not sure. This is a very good rack I must say.

The gear wheel is a plastic crap that lasted no time..I'm trying to fabricate a metal one on to it..Truly regret wasting my money on it.

Mine is great! As long as you have a rear tire then you have the three necessary bolts to secure the rack. It does great at high speeds (70mph +). I would STRONGLY recommend getting it put on by a bike shop. It isn't difficult, but if your car is older they might need a torque wrench for good measure. STRONGLY recommend. Good luck to you!

There are two metal pieces that hang onto the sides of the bike rack. In the middle there are two plastic alligator like clips that will attach onto the rack as well. I am very happy with my purchase and have not had any trouble with the plastic parts.

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

I had the gear box apart. The several gears are either nylon or metal. High speed shaft from motor is metal but the gear that meshes to it is nylon (plastic). This is common with cheaper grinders and not necessarily negative unless you are a commercial operator.
