I hate working with cast! You can't modify it. It will break on you so fast. Cast is great if you are only painting, I don't even like drilling it. Larger areas are fine to drill and tap, but small ones are poopers!
Also with this, there is not "that cast" - same here, it depends on the casting material.
Many casts break when hit hard enough, others can be beaten with a hammer without dying.
This vise is cast (i also have some forged steel ones, but this is my "allrounder"), and the flat part behind the grip area is a anvil.
