Resurrecting the annealer: DONE

Robots...i used to buy them by the dozens.
Are tgey high temp? Silicone or viton?
Go to Robotshop.ca buy a motor and controller, rpm should be very easy. Flame heat matters very little.
Use Tempilaq and rpm to set system up. Rpm sets the duration case is in the heat.
I have a hard enough time just affording a new propane tank.
The parts are cheap...especially if you have a lot of used parts kicking around. Im lucky, i bought a cheap lathe so i can do some of the turning myself
So for around $50 you can get all the electrical...whats pictured below plus $5 for a 12vdc walwart from a discount store or yardsale. Rpm for motor will depend on size of wheels you use on your rig. I used 6 seconds as nominal time in flame...
Mine are bigger than needed because i used whats in the scrap bin. Somewhere around 2" would seem about right. Wide enough to anneal a 7.62x39
As the title might suggests i am rebuilding one i had previously built with scrap angle and aluminum sheet.
Reuse/repurpose what ever you can find. If anyone needs 10-32 set screws i bought a bag of fifty today

I have materials at home as well so I'm really looking at making the best possible.
I'll be looking at annealing 556, 7.62x39, 308, 338 Lapua and bmg.
I'm thinking about making sleeves to go over the wheels for each case length and making the torch head adjustable.
Edited to ask: 2amp power supply (wall wart) would be enough?
