Annealing Machine question

DG, sounds like a plan. How long would it take to run a 1000 pieces or so of .308 brass. What it this cleaning of primer pockets that you speak of?
I assume the brass should be deprimed and at least cleaned before anealing? Looks like I will have to start rounding up my brass, buy another universal depriming die and fire up the ultra sonic cleaner.

I have shot competitively for over 20 years reloaded for 25 years and never anealed a case in my life. I have enough brass that it only gets loaded and fired once or maybe twice a year. So it isn't like I am trying to get the most life out of 100 cases like some BR shooters do. With the brass that I have on hand and thinking it would only have to be anealed every 3rd of 4th time being reloaded, I would only need to fire up the anealing machine about once every 12 years.
Now on the other hand, I have a CNC machine and could start making anealing machines if I could find the time.
It will take about 30 -40 min to do 1000. The brass should be clean!
The primer pocket was a comment about you sometimes don't bother cleaning them
You will need to sacrafice a few for set up! What kind of brass? I might have some sacrificial ones.
Would you have a copy of MasterCAM and a description of the machine and the cutters that are on hand?
I'm thinking automatic case feed would be a nice option...
MasterCam with a Yang SMV 1000 Vertical machining centre, 40"X, 20"Y, 20"Z. More cutters than you can imagine.
