[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1952935, member: 2736"] The problem is not the method used, it is how consistent the method Is. I have tried many different methods and the ones that were not consistent Is where I found the biggest difference in accuracy and Standard Deviations. Any method that relied on my senses of sight, color and time were normally the problem. A machine has no reflexes or preference, It simply does what you tell/set it to do and then repeats the same parameters every time. I decided to build my own anneal'er to eliminate the human factor And come up with something that could repeat the same procedure Every time. I looked at as many designs as I could then looked at the cost to buy one and decided to try to build one my self with spare parts I already had. The parts i didn't have were very cheep so I decided to build it and if it didn't measure up, I would just buy one that did all I wanted at a reasonable price. I used the Anneal ease design and a wire feeder motor from a Mig machine that I had for the drive. Total cost was under $20.00. It works great and as soon as I figure how to post the video, I will. It has been a great improvement in consistency and I will never go back to hand annealing. PS: I never tried holding the cases by hand, so I can't comment on that Method. :cool: J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
