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.

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.
