You can machine cast parts.   

alward25:
Then why would they not list it as cast.  Listing says machined from aircraft grade aluminum.  Should be better than the pot metal piece they come with, I would think anyway.

dirk_411:
I spoke to a guy Hans from proX last summer.   I was making an inquiry about the K5 baskets.  I told him any vendors I dealt with were telling me the K5 baskets proX  made were cast similar to oem. He replied and ensured me tge are "not" casted and are machined billet baskets.  If I still had the email id copy and paste it for you to read.  He actually seemed concerned that I said vendors/distributors in north america claimed they were casted.  I told him to check out item #'s and ebay vendors for himself.  True story here.

I was surprised to see you talking about this very issue

sandblaster:
Then the question remains... What is the surface hardness of the tangs, and how deep does it go?

DoldGuy:
The listing states "Hard Anodized"....It is my understanding that you can not do that to cast parts.
