Annealeez My Opinion ... Out of the Box

[TerryH]

I set mine up the same all but the clamp. Is that a ground rod clamp?

Yes, I believe that's what he used.

Do you have a model number or link to the one you used?
Thanks for the post
That is just what i was looking for but it has been a long time since I worked with this kind of stuff.
It helps to have this.

This might be of interest to you. Friend of mine has a couple of mods that are simple and improve the machine. I did the volt meter mod on my Giraud as well. Makes the machine much more repeatable for a bit of work and $7.

Thanks for the clamp idea also.
I did not like what i had. I had what i needed to make this so that's what I've been doing for the last couple hours.

Where did you get that cantilever torch clamp? That one makes sense.

Terry, great addition for 7.00. Makes the machine much more user friendly. Thanks for sharing.

If you are talking about my red armed unit.
I made the torch clamp part a few years ago and the red arm is a small test indicator holder like the noga type from ebay.
Just faced off the 3/8 screw and drilled and tapped for the indicator arm screw after removing mag base. I plan on making a better torch clamp part that screws directly in the top of arm when I have time.

Good topic! I have been thinking about annealing to: help reduce SD/ES and get a little more life from my brass. And if I do go this route, the Annealeeze machine would be my choice. I got in a good discussion about all this on the 6.5 Creedmoor forum, or, was it Sniper's Hide? (memory) One thing I did not think about at that time, and, in relation to cartridge life is- while annealing will give me more life to my cartridge neck, it will not do a thing for my cartridge case head or loosening of primer pockets. And am wondering therefore whether to anneal at all , at least with respect to brass life. Thoughts? TIA, lg

What is that torch mount called and where can I get one? Looks like a very adjustable mount!

Would you be interested in making another one?
