Suprisingly light actually, the gears are all lightened, the crossmembers are aluminum alloy, the box itself is made of ballistic lexan 3/16". The Bosch mount is aluminum. The final version is see through and really nice looking. It would be tough to pack this much power in a much lighter package and still stay robust.
