It's Zamak in the US, and Mazak in the UK (possibly Europe too?) and other parts of the world. I'm in the other parts of the world bit. Adrian said I thought it was Mazak too - eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Myford-Mazak-hand-dials-ML7-and-ML7R-/325571981560 I had those exact same original Mazak handwheel dials on my ML7, changed them out for the machined resettable ones from Myford. Much nicer!
