It is mostly metal with plastic protectors over the spinning blade. Some plastic on the knobs that tighten the guides. Motor housing and support frame are a good solid metal.

Question

Will this machine grind the blade guides?

Blade guides have to be re-sized as the blades or teeth wear down. Blade guides determine the depth of cut. Not re-sizing your guides will greatly diminish your cutting speed. Will this machine take care of this action?

yes, but I found it is easier to use the old file and guide to do this. With my chains the grinding wheel would need to be changed to a wider one to do this. You can leave he chain on the sharpener and use the file and guide though...
