Thread: Another annealing machine

Made a little prototype of a mechanism I've been thinking about for a somewhat simpler annealing machine.
Next step is to build a better frame & ramps - the cam needs modifying too as it's a bit "flicky" with just a pin articulating the rocker.

That looks bloody good, and nice and simple. Like it.

Paint a bit of plastidip on the drum ( not the flat bit ) and be sure the case is turning nicely and getting even heat

I think I need a bit more heating grunt? Will know for sure once this bloody motor controller shows up.

Looking good. Yeah more heating needed or longer stay time in flame is the soulution. My annealer is a twin burner unit and stay time for a 308 case is around 3 seconds. A better burner is the Bernzomatic with pencil burner. Probably no hotter than yours but larger gas reserve.
