Use whatever you want, don't cut down the better methods used and being developed here, by stating yours is better, when it's not, at all. Maybe you got your info on the torch/pan from all the F class shooters out there, I'm sure they have some really nice pans and special water................

I'm getto AF I guess. I'm using a torch and drill with a 14mm deep socket and turning the cases for 7-8 sec on max heat on the neck/shoulder of the cartridge then dumping them on a wet cloth. the cases base and first 3/4 in of the case is still cool enough to touch when I Pull the brass from the socket but the neck and shoulder and about 1/2" of case wall have color change.
Can you not just buy a hand held induction machine and put the coil over the brass and turn it on and off each time? I know it’s not as accurate for timing but for those who like myself are just not competent with electronics. At least you get even heat around the
brass no?
brass no?
Thats me too, but I managed not to release any magic blue smoke when I put the timer inline. Now it's all good, and I get great results.
After a new barrel this will be top of list! You think the induction heaters are the same as the ones on Amazon? https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32970570380.html?spm=a2g0n.detail.0.0.ef7e6dbfwLwZJR&gps-id=platformRecommendH5&scm=1007.18499.178803.0&scm_id=1007.18499.178803.0&scm-url=1007.18499.178803.0&pvid=1bf9356e-136a-46c4-81d4-c811d9c26c48&_t=gps-id%3AplatformRecommendH5%2Cscm-url%3A1007.18499.178803.0%2Cpvid%3A1bf9356e-136a-46c4-81d4-c811d9c26c48%2Ctpp_buckets%3A668%230%23131923%2383_668%23888%233325%2318_8499%230%23178803%230_8499%234696%2321885%2318_668%232846%238108%231977_668%235811%2327183%2359_668%232717%237562%23494__668%233374%2315176%23555&browser_id=8c99e4a1cd0d47dba35c113e34982b6c&aff_trace_key=7167e818cf8f4126b3ec5a995319093b-1623183721237-07954-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=jbxmf97qxvucaupy179ed4a6de647eadc05a9199da&gclid=
Almost half the cost! Looks the same too

What is hard about that? Probably harder to find a 240/15amp receptacle in your house
Might seem dumb but its overly simple. I guess it depends on weather your doing 50 cases or 500... But I found a method that worked for me using a small magnetic dish on a power drill chuck in a vice (the magnet keeps the dish attached to the drills chuck centered). A half inch or so of cold water in the dish and I set my casing in the center, push the button to make the drill spin at the rate I want and hit the top of the casing with a pencil torch and knock it over to quench it.
That's my home made setup...I wouldn't want to do 500 cases with it though.

Ummmm. One leg of 220(240) with a neutral is 120
Maybe a little bit of a language barrier, but as a licensed electrician, do not do what I think you are saying
Let me rephrase that. Dryer plug has 4 wires. The annealer uses 3. So I was thinking that I could just turn the neutral from the annealer into the other hot. Leave ground as a ground. So I would have 110+110 and the ground. Just wasn't sure if the neutral was required. Residential power generally doesn't have single leg 220.
As it had a UK plug. Which has 3 wires, 220, neutral and a ground.
Was actually doing some looking into this the other day and I seen a guy that's been using the salt bath method and he's been getting really good results, gets the salt from a company in Edmonton Alberta, anyone ever tried this method?
