After months I finally finished my fully automated case annealer UPDATES

[Panama Evans]

I hear that, but this was just a fun project for me, and a necessity since sitting for long periods can be painful. Heck if someone can use my design and make their life easier I'd be happy with that

 

[tplace]

Very nice! I was on the verge of building a propane rig but I think I’ll wait and see what your parts list looks like. Really nice build!

 

[Jdne5b]

That's killer. Nice work.

 

[Panama Evans]

I built a propane unit, and I didn't like the fact of my propane changing, so consistency was always a worry,not to mention an open flame, and carbon monoxide, and endless refilling of bottles. With this unit all those worries are gone. The list of parts is almost done with $ amounts, and links. There are areas where cost could be cut with some looking, and alternative parts.

 

[marchx]

Congrats! Did you perform the hardness test to see whether the annealed cases differ from the not annealed ones? In my induction annealer I also refer my annealing time to 750 tempilaq, however I am not convinced that there is significant difference in the hardness.

 

[Panama Evans]

I don't have a hardness tester, but with my research it should be acceptable. I have noticed in the past that cases that are not annealed will have a difference in heck tension. Pay attention to how it feels to seat bullets, and if you get any cases that chamber tightly. Think of it this way, people wouldn't anneal if there wasn't any difference in accuracy.

 

[Fern]

That is great to see. I would love to build something like that.

Yes as well as the dimensions of everything I just put up more pics to start

Cool, drop port annealer

Thank you

 

[Panama Evans]

Very nice! I imagine getting the funnel part to work correctly was quite the challenge. Looking forward to the parts list. Thanks for sharing.

Paul

I was lucky it only took two designs to make it work, still could use a little tweaking, but I think I already solved that, LOL hence the magnets on the drop the cases go down. The hardest part was getting a good angle, and glueing it together.

 

[Panama Evans]

Very nice! I was on the verge of building a propane rig but I think I’ll wait and see what your parts list looks like. Really nice build!

I have the parts list, front layout, and platform plans done. If you want them let me know and i'll send them to you as I go along.I also have videos up on youtube.
