To each their own, but Salt Bath annealing is not in my opinion an "involved process" and certainly no more dangerous than using an open flame method.

I have an amp maybe I should start a brass anealing business
What about the shipping both ways? I am actually seriously considering this

Maybe SB is as safe and easy as they say, tests say not its not effective and I already have the flame annealing worked out. The induction route has my attention though. I will be keeping an eye on that technology for a DIY auto feed version.Salt bath... how do you know it works?

I had the same follow up question, I'm guessing you pay shipping both ways ... it wouldn't take long to get to the point you could have just bought something like the annealeez.

I'll be going with a DIY setup no matter what, haven't decided between SB or induction but i'll research both. SB seems to not be a "true" anneal but it sounds like the people doing it are still reaping the rewards of doing it so it's probably "good enough."
Found this thread for a DIY induction setup that's a lot more automated, but it's a pretty involved build out.

Very true but I have invested approximately four times that much to do a top-notch job for myself just wondering if I can pay for my machine maybe make a few pennies for myself in the long run
I have never tried salt bath anealing and like anything I believe results vary depending on the application but my main problem with salt bath anealing is the danger one drop of water or sweat and you have molten lava basically exploding right in front of you which scares the crap out of me even more than an open flame at my loading bench with powder in the same room I know I know but now what I need 2 different rooms to do my reloading

If I had the money invested into an AMP it's something I would seriously look into as well. The only hesitation I would have is having some sort of protection (insurance / LLC) in place as you are dealing in explosive territory. If someone uses brass you've annealed for them and has a catastrophic incident you need to be prepared to defend yourself and your livelihood.
Never considered that although I have nothing to do and have no control with how much powder they put in I'm sure a lawyer could drag me through the mud
I guess I would have to add some sort of disclaimer that I am not responsible for anything that results from the reloading processes

Yeah a simple disclaimer may work, but I'd maybe have a lawyer look at it. If nothing else maybe the LLC to protect your personal estate from your business dealings. I don't think you'd ever have an issue man but like you said once lawyers get involved it wouldn't take much to drag you through the mud and if they could prove the brass was too weakened or whatever it could put you in a bad spot without some kind of protection.
A couple years ago I got started in making daisy chain ropes out of amsteel that everyone now loves to use on climbing sticks for hunting, sold a ton of them on facebook groups before realizing if one of those ever broke and a guy fell out of the tree I could be in a world of hurt from a liability standpoint. A few different guys jumped in and started actual businesses and websites making them so I pretty quickly faded away and stopped doing it, which was fine by me ... made enough that first year to completely overhaul my entire hunting gear and equipment so I was happy!
