Resurrecting the annealer: DONE

Super cool!
Thanks for the offer on the magnets, I want to get a bunch for various other little projects as well.
Unfortunately, closest Metal Supermarket is a 4hr round trip for me.
Heck, we don't even have a Princess Auto in this loser province known as Kébek.
I'll keep scrounging around and keep up the great work!

Actually had to go to work the last couple days...

Really like what I see! Specially the spirit behind the project! Reuse, recycle and rethink!
I was to build one like yours, but wokingbin my basement man cave a torch and propane is not something safe in my mind. So I have started sourcing for the induction annealing parts. Will be using Microcontrollers like arduino or stm32 as the brain and a 1800W driver running with 24V Dc 40amps SWPS.

Following your build, keep up with the great work!!!
Cheers
 
Yomomma, I can't wait to see the end result!
I have a few more parts to get and I should be able to put things together towards the end of May, beginning of June.
Unfortunately, I have water heaters to replace once they arrive and yet another ankle surgery to get in the way of things.
Going in for ankle surgery number 7! Twas a nasty break, it was.

subtalar fusion?? if so......welcome to the club
 
Not quite there yet but it was discussed.
I had a pilon fracture on my tibia. Four long shards.
Longest was ~7" and my skin was the only thing holding it back.
The cartilage in the joint was obliterated. Pure dust including the bone. Fibula snapped as well.
I was rocking an external fixator for a month and then it got switched to an Ilizarov external fixator for another three months.
I'd post pictures but I don't want to derail the thread and they a gruesome...
At least I got two plates and seven screws in me!
I'll only post here if Yomomma wants to have a peek as well.

Loving the annealer!
Wicked awesome and love the execution, real well done!!!
Thanks for all the help and pictures!!!!!!

Very good job Yomomma. I really enjoy looking at other peoples completed projects and your came together very nicely...I am especially envious of you guys that can master the electronics of your machines...I can manage most any mechanical issues but electronics are like looking at a can of worms to me.

I hope to have a project ready for the forums review shortly...a non electric (^^^) kit that can mechanically increase the loading volume of a Dillon 650 (pistol shells only) to more than 50% better than they will do from the factory with no more physical effort to the operator.

I've found some 2.5" and 3" diameter aluminum round stock.
Leaning towards 3" due to heat and maybe an insulator between wheel and shaft since I plan to do at least 100 cases per batch using silicone o-rings.
Torch head on order from Amazon, Homeless Despot was sold out.
Motors, control and power supply should be here this week. Thanks again!!!
Still need to source some 2"x2" aluminum angle iron and some aluminum sheet stock.
Wheel thickness wise I was thinking 25-30mm?
Neodymium magnets wise was looking at some 20x10x5 or 30x10x5 rectangles or simply 10x5 rounds like you did!
I have no magnets on hand so will have to order from China.
For the "gate" did you use a spring/weight/magnet to keep it closed?
Still torn with the Tempilaq. Some say 650°F or 750°F.
Once your electric connections are done, would you be kind enough to post a picture?
I presume both motors will be either running off the controller or one with speed control and the other direct drive.
Ah! So much to learn!
Again, thanks for all the help!!!

2:30am...need sleep...

How do you find the heat transfer to the wheels/motor after a big batch?

From the first one i built, i never had any issues, i dont expect any with this one.

Well, if you ever need help with the electrical stuff, dont be afraid to ask. I used to teach highschool students that came in for a work term. Its really not that difficult.
