Is there a reasonable priced annealing machine made in Canada.

I'll have to look into that one ...
the benchsource + dillon case feeder = automatic annealer.....
but I can't justify like 7-800$ on an annealer. (but I just bought a 800$ lab radar....) I guess you choose where you spend your money.
Unless you shoot multiple thousand rifle rounds a year?
I don't know, at 15 minutes per 100 cases, at a relaxed pace, I don't see a need for a machine.
Anneal every 3 firings or so, just bump the shoulder 2 mils, with a bushing die that resizes the neck just enough, I don't think that you are about to see that neck crack...

I think the idea behind a machine doing for you, is so it's as consistent as possible from round to round. Its not just about having brass life, it's also about consistency. Isn't that the point after all? Consistency in our rifles, ammo and shooting.
not all brass is created equal, the cool thing about the Annie is that when I find the average time to do a certain brand of brass and then set the timer I watch the necks as they get zapped, some turn a little more orange/red when heated, they go to the pile on the left, and some don't quite glow, these go in the pile to the right, all the others go in the good bin. this is one little tidbit of useless information that only adds more confusion to the areas of brass prep, but from my experience using induction is that you can see not all cases anneal equally, and if you have a good eye you can segregate those that do from those that don't.
To get my average time I use templaqe on 5 or 6 cases, after that it doesn't take much more then a keen eye for detail to see that some are different in the way they react to the heat......Does it really matter??? well I don't have a idea as to that, but what I do know is that it won't matter now that those cases are clearly marked as foulers and sighters

Obviously didn't use that kind of logic to justify the $800 lab radar with $100 Chrony or $300 MagnetoSpeed will suffice. Hope you had fun playing mind games on yourself
I am ok with the logic of consistency, if you buy new brass, shoot it the same, anneal the same, always the same, might make sense.
As for cases glowing more or less and ending in different piles, thats not any better than me doing it with the torch to the same length every time.
That's not automated. You have to manually feed cases into the feeder.

Annealezz look it up
Would it be classified as a reloading machine?
Its an annealer, has nothing to do with reloading.
You could be annealing lag bolts for all they know.
That's just a machine that turns in circles.
The automation starts when you press a button and walk away and it still does the actions. Majority of US companies rather not violate ITAR, thus won't ship automated equipment for reloading to Canada.
