Case Annealing - check out this bad boy!

[Mad_Mikee]

Going to start kicking my case annealing up another notch. No more using a torch.

 

[yodave]

okay, so where and how much???


nevermind, I found it online and ordered it..........now the painful art of waiting

 

[swissinn]

Holy crap!!! That's a game changer

$500 ouch...

Wicked cool nonetheless

I wonder what the duty cycle is like

 

[yodave]

499.oo and I got free shipping with USPS

Wish it was in my budget.
I'm looking to anneal a couple hundred Lake City brass. If anyone in the SWO East / GTA West could give me a hand, I'd throw something in to make it worth your while. Otherwise, torch time here I come.

It probably wouldn't be all that difficult to build. For those with the resources and the know-how.

If you enter in the promo code, which is good till the end of the month, you get $50 off and a couple free accessories.

If you were to own a Giraud case annealer, it would be a deadly combo. Not that I'm saying I own one.

Its been out there for a while...

 

[Mad_Mikee]

Seems pretty cool to me. I always have trouble trying to get the flame adjusted right when using a torch.

Induction heating has been used for welding (pre-heat and post-heat) for a while, so the technology is established.
Now we just need a cheap Chinese version for under $50.

I hope we get to see a review.

 

[yodave]

first time I went to the web site it said add to cart, so I did. Second time I went to the website it said out of stock now taking pre-orders.........I think I may have just gotten really really lucky on the timing of that one.........

 

[Mad_Mikee]

I talked to someone there today. He said they're about 2-3 weeks behind at the absolute worst.

I figure for $450 US ($600 CAN), I'll give it a try. I have way more than $600 CAN invested in my brass that I need to anneal.

Doesn't take much to screw up a batch of brass with a torch head adjusted a bit too close or a bit too hot.

That won't overheat, catch fire, and burn your shop down

they need to combine this device with an automatic feeder. even if it gets the brass perfectly annealed i would still opt for the old school flame annealing purely for the automated machines. to hell with sitting there doing them one by one....

 

[yodave]

they have already done that...........

 

[Spawn-Inc]

they have already done that...........

ahh, just realized it was the video on the first page, i thought it was the flame version in the video. so the unit you got comes with it for $500?

 

[yodave]

the unit I got is the manual case feed. if you watch the video you'll see that the auto feed is a mute point
