Need brass annealing advice

[HockeyDad]

I went DIY rig as well, think I have about $70 into it. Works great and a fun build.

Man, that looks awesome!! Would you be willing to share the list of components that went into that and maybe a couple more pictures of it?

Here are the links for the supplies that I ordered. I cut this out of a prior post, so don't know if links are still active, but you should be able to find them.
I did mine in 2017


2 - Pans

1- Set screw adapter

Prices have varied slightly I'm sure...

I used a few things that I had laying around as well;
scrap piece of 3/4" plywood, could definitely get by with 1/2", power cords from old circle saw, 2x4 bracket for feed ramp and 1/4" steel rod for brass guide.

If you look at the string of posts on the AR-15.com about these machines you can find all the info you will need about tricks of making it. I basically used Tophadman's design on page 8 for mine and kept it simple. Some of the guys went over the top building it, I didn't need that...

If you do build it, let me know if you have any questions and I can help you out - but pretty simple contraption...

Thanks, Sockye66, I've been thinking about this for some time as I've heard others getting a lot of benefits
from annealing. I have viewed several YouTube users of the "Anneal-eez" ; one called AMP and another that I don't remember the name of. I do a lot of reloading for my relatives and close hunting/shooting friends. Now with the lack of loaded factory supply available, I'm getting a lot more requested. I'm hoping that I'll learn about more machines out there, and which one's are good.

Another very popular one is bench source if money is no object the amp annealer is the cream of the crop but at $1300 it is very pricey after saving my pennies for several years I moved from an annealeez to an amp annealer it works great but I said is expensive

Couple quick questions, you went with the 5a power supply? And, what did you make the torch holder out of?

 

[Buckskinner]

Yes 5A, plenty... For torch holder, just a 4" or 5" u-bolt, can't remember which and pipe foam around it to keep it from sliding. I'm sure there are better methods.
