Consistency is key or you may as well not bother.

Im not sure that exact timing is any real advantage. Bit like weighing powder down to the .01 of a grain. If you have the timing within a reasonable range neck tension seems very consistent. I do take them a little hotter than most seem to recommend though. Iv been told that the way I do it wont work but yet i have no problem getting long brass life and very good accuracy and ES with loads. Its cost me nothing to set up aside from a few cases while I was leaning ...The proofs in the pudding so Ill stick with it.

We have annealed about 8k of cases via the deep well socket/Dewalt method.Very cheap ,very accurate.Only real consummable is the gas from Mega.

Sounds very much like what I do. I do not drop in water after, just left to cool.

I'm keen to make one myself and am after some words of wisdom from those who have already done one of there own? What worked well, What things would you change? etc...

Photo's would be greatly appreciated too.

Hi, I've been doing it the old way for tooooo long and now have an electrical whiz making up an induction furnace ,so I can only say I'll let you know when its done and working ... go on the net and do a search .. Rob

The best design machine I have seen so far in link below, I am 90% finished on a table top saw blade type one but the case spin set up has had me mucking around for hours trying to set up and still needing work to be able to do more than one caliber or case size. I reckon I would have one like the video built in the time it would take to get the case spin right on the first machine.

Yep I abandoned my first design and went with this one.

Got it 3/4s finished at this stage, just painting and assembly to go.

Was very easy to make, especially since Skip provided a parts list, including where to purchase, and some basic drawings.

That'd make a good thread if you cared to share it.
