Just to be a bit pedantic, Zamac (and similar) are zinc alloys, not aluminum although there is some.? Roughly 96% zinc, most of the rest aluminum, and a smattering of magnesium and copper.

Joel,
A DB200 is made of cast iron.
An SL is made of Zamac (a form of cast aluminum). Both are good machines although I prefer the cast iron DB200 because of its weight.
