So, who on here has one or more to the point - who has built there own?
I'm keen to make one myself and am after some words of wisdom from those who have already done one of there own? What worked well, What things would you change? etc...
Photo's would be greatly appreciated too.
Cheers

Iv got one, its Gregs :D
Wouldn't be hard to make if you have the gear.
This is one of the easiest I have seen
schrockit brass case annealing machine - YouTube
This one is adjustable and works well

Thanks for the links. Those are both awesome! I've seen variations of both, but those two incorporated a case turning feature that worked when the main disc is static, which is very cleaver. I'll give it some more thought and see if any more ideas surface?Quote:

I like the auto case feed, is it turning the cases in the heat? Can't see on phone.Quote:

Yeah mate, there's a lot going on with that last one. As it indexes it land the shell on a little wheel that is mounted flush with the table, the little wheel rotates the brass case when the heat is on... very sexy!Quote:

I'm in the process of building an annealer.
Keeping it simple due to not having large volumes to do ... something along these lines.

I like it, but I can't help but think the addition of a car window wiper crank system added to the ''slide'' would make it so much better, as it would take the guess work out of the time spent in the flame?Quote:

I think an anything that automates time and rotation in the flame is the go .
Consistency is key or you may as well not bother.
Cool, keep us posted if you go ahead with it.
I'm multi-tasking with about 5 browser windows open at once looking at motor bike disc breaks, clutch pressure plates...basically anything pre-made that's round with holes around the circumference that could be purchased off trademe for next to nothing that may work as part of a rotary table? Getting lots of cool ideas...just gotta settle on a final design?

The time in the flame must be controlled and constant. to much heat and it will travel into the body of the case and ruin it.Quote:

I have a DXF file of the plate drawn up, just need to get it cut. I have a windscreen motor for the turner arm. Will run a speed controller from the like of Jaycar.
Interested to see others ideas here.
Awesome!
Im not sure that exact timing is any real advantage. Bit like weighing powder down to the .01 of a grain. If you have the timing within a reasonable range neck tension seems very consistent. I do take them a little hotter than most seem to recommend though. Iv been told that the way I do it wont work but yet i have no problem getting long brass life and very good accuracy and ES with loads. Its cost me nothing to set up aside from a few cases while I was leaning:angry: ...The proofs in the pudding so Ill stick with it.Quote:

Sounds very much like what I do. I do not drop in water after, just left to cool.
Hi, I've been doing it the old way for tooooo long and now have an electrical whiz making up an induction furnace ,so I can only say I'll let you know when its done and working ... go on the net and do a search .. RobQuote:

I reckon I would have one like the video built in the time it would take to get the case spin right on the first machine.

Was very easy to make, especially since Skip provided a parts list, including where to purchase, and some basic drawings.

That'd make a good thread if you cared to share it.
Always happy to share @MoutereQuote:

Cheers Pete.
Good design. You could simplyfy it more buy just having the 1 turntable and hand feeding onto a feed ramp.
That's shit hot, well done😆
