Thread: Home made Annealing machine

Be interesting to know the total cost of components if bought here. Value for money wise, the Ugly Annealers made in Aussie are the same concept but far cheaper than any other commercial units. Ignore the name, they're well built. I use my mate's one a lot and it's mint.

Was thinking the same you could buy an ugly for under $400 including freight and not have to muck around experimenting and building. That seems pretty good to me. Of course you could also spend a lot less getting tenpointone in Wellington to aneal and tumble your cases at about $25 per 50 cases plus post if needed.
I'm currently hot salt annealing and it gives pretty good results but it is time consuming. Must admit I've considered an ugly a few times or just getting someone else to AMP anneal them. No hate for the diy guys at all, love seeing what people can turn out of their sheds.
