Default BRASS ANNEALING

Has anyone ever used the Annealeez brass anealing machine, and what did you think of it, is it worth $275 bucks.

Worth it i did the the digital display upgrade someone posted on Calguns, well built easy to use and a good deal. only the drop pan is pretty small upgraded to a 12inch stainless steel drywall mud pan works great!

I have one. It's got probably, oh, 10k pieces through it. Pretty pleased. Make sure you get the wheels you need when ordering, as the guy kind of snubbed me when I asked to buy separately (though ultimately he did.)

I have been using mine for close to a year and love it. The only thing is the brass catcher definitely needs to be upgraded as mentioned before.

I made an annealed, I do not make them to sell because the tool is to simple. Many years ago while reloaders were talking in lofty terms about annealing I read a few articles and wrote a few rules that applied to annealing. After I got the rules together I made the machine based on the rules.

I took a few pieces to a gun show and placed them on the table, I could not generate any interest in the annealer because everyone wanted to tell me what it should look like.

I gave them more credit than they deserved I honestly thought they could look at it and then determine how it was used and how to make their own. I was wrong.

Skagits Ballistics makes a decent single feed unit. One day when I have the money I’ll get a AMP annealer but until then I’ll use my skagits

Or, make your own.

Update: http://www.carolinashootersclub.com/...roduct.225488/

For the price of an Anealeez, I figured I could buy parts to make three anealers for two of my life long buddies and myself. Finished my test unit a few days ago. Eventually I'll make it cleaner and nicer. Just wanted to figure out the layout and equipment. One cool upgrade is to add a proximity sensor, with it your anealer will not double or miss feed.

Best of luck.

some people don't have the skills/tools to build that, others like me just don't have the time.

One thing though. a little time spent working a gear ratio out you only need one timer to control both functions with one more and one idler shaft.
