Dead set to build inductance annealing apparatus.

Even as a former electronic tech, this was my version of the much easier and very effective, but inexpensive solution. And the best part is you can also use the tool for what it was made for; heating up nuts and the like
Induction heater and annealer with timer

I built this a year ago and it works amazingly fast and easy.

Last piece of the puzzle finally arrived from china. High temp insulation. Saved $3 and took 8 weeks to get it. What a bargain.
The thing works great, no sign of overheating on any of the components. Production rate of approximately 1 beer per 100 brass. The new insulated coil is slower than the other prototype but much safer for the zvs board. 200 annealed without a glitch.
Some good tips and links from you guys, thanks a bunch.

Precision reloading is all about consistency. Correct?
I discovered something today.
I had lapua brass that had been flame annealed. Thats me turning the brass in front of a torch while I count to 10. Shoulder bump measurements have always been very inconsistent, up to .003 off. I just assumed that was the norm.
Timed induction annealing has all shoulder bump measurements the same. I can only assume that the neck tension will also be that much more uniform.
Sure hope that shows in higher scores.
