[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 2732343, member: 117869"] Here is a video of my homemade induction annealer. It uses an Arduino Uno controller and an infrared sensor to determine when the case begins to glow and terminate the annealing. The amount of glow is adjustable to achieve more or less annealing. It cost me about $300 when I built it in 2021. All parts from Amazon except the old computer case I used to house the project in. There is a very long thread (167 pages and counting) on AccurateShooter.com with instructions on basic to more advanced builds like mine. Some even incorporate auto feeders. The end of my video show me annealing both 5.56 Nato and 300 Weatherby. I went with the IR sensor because I have thousands of .223/5.56 brass of various manufactures. To get a consistent anneal based on time, you need consistent metal qualities and there can be up to 100% difference in time between different head stamp brass of the same caliber. I did not want to have to sort the thousands of rounds I have by head stamp.
