Just thought I'd post this, there's a lot of instructions out there on building annealers. Cost me roughly 130$ in parts, and runs great. Just have to finish up the feeder portion of it, and some cosmetics. I'll probably get around to it tomorrow.

Took a lot longer to put together then it looks though. If ever anyone wants to build one, and has any questions; don't hesitate to ask!

Gents,

It's based heavily on the following instructions and youtube videos (Both the same Australian guy)

Instructions + 90% of the part list

YouTube video's of it in action

I got the speed controllers and motors from amazon, the rest of the hardware is from Canadian Tire and Rona.

The instruction's I posted above in my opinion are lacking finer details, so you'll need to use your imagination more then once. Also the parts list is missing a few small things. Use what I posted above, and ask me here if anything isn't clear. I'll post a video and pictures of mine later tonight.

Yes. This and a parts list. What motor did you use? Where did you source the large silver dish part? Is it an aluminum camping plate with the rim cut off?

That’s a terrible teaser post! :)

Haha sorry guys! I'll put more details later tonight, as I'm about to head out. The dish thing is a 6" cake pan cut down. See the instructions in my post just before yours, to give you an idea.

I saw the video a little while ago. This is way better than holding brass in a socket in a drill.

Turbo, thanks for posting. I gotta get around to building this.
 
Instead of two motors with separate speed controllers why not connect them together on the back in a 1:1 rpm ratio so that the feed wheel always feeds a case at the right time to the heating wheel. That way you only need one motor and one speed controller to adjust dwell time of the case in the flame.

The added components to mechanically connect them would end up costing more then the second motor (10$). Would be easier and cheaper to connect both motors to the same controller. I went with the second controller, for the added control. Timing so far does not seem to be an issue at all.

The same one my buddy and myself made. We added a proximity sensor to the feed ramp,to stop the feeding.That way we don't have a
timing problem. ie; two brass waiting to drop.

Looks really good! Just an FYI, I've seen a lot of these using PC PSU's for some reason. The motors we're using pull .1a at there highest torque rating, so if ever you want to save some space; you can go ahead and use any small 12V power supply you have laying around.

I'm using this small guy, that would be enough to power 15 of those small motors.
