Right Bill, I think many if not most DB200s were alloy. It¡¯s the MK1 and Mk2 versions I have which all are cast iron. ? Alan Alan Ehrlich Geneva, Switzerland ? ?

Dick, I have a Unimat here that says it's a DB 200, but is light alloy just like my SL-1000. Both machines were used when I got them, so may be Frankenmats rather that as shipped. I've not made any measurements to compare, but to the naked eye they're identical except for the label. William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Good judgement comes from experience.

Physics doesn't care about your schedule.
The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better. Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first. ? On Friday, May 24, 2024 at 08:34:59 AM CDT, OldToolmaker via groups.io <old_toolmaker@...> wrote: 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.
