I am looking to buy an auto annealer and would like some advice on who makes the best one out there. Thanks

I would think that any device with an open flame being operated inside of a structure would require constant vigilance.

The cases in the Girard need to be stacked in line - a machine that used a Dillon feeder would only need the cases dumped in it when it was low.
It would NOT need constant attention.

Common, use some (not so... ) common sense - I wasn't talking about going out to the movies... but there are hundreds of crappy jobs that you can do in your loading area while an annealing machine runs, and every twenty minutes, you dump another bucket of cases in the hopper.
Very nice looking machine. Good work! How much you invest?jkl said:Finished mine copy of Skips V6 works great.
