If you go to Amazon and type in annealing machine you will see some pretty decent looking stuff that are clearly copies of the machines we use some at cheap prices.... Now the Chinese have reverse engineered annealing machines.... Crazy but true... I do not own any of them or am I recommending any of them just shocked to see clones no technology is safe from them if there's a dollar involved....
Knock offs looking pretty good....

Not when they ship production to Asia and turn their back on local employees only to please shareholders.
It is tragic that so many companies sign away their character anymore.
For those who don't, we should reward them.
And if we don't? New innovations will grind to a halt.
Think about it.
You develop something that finally works,, and many could benefit from it.
You know it will be copied, undermining your viable production of it.
You know they didn't earn the knowledge, and they'll cut corners. They'll screw it all up.
And you see clearly that this community will buy the cheapest of anything. To hell with the original innovator..
So you think: LET IT GO,, IT ISN'T WORTH IT
I'm sure it's already happening.

Hardly, do you imply the Japanese have not innovated since they were crushed ?
Do you also imply copiers can't/don't improve products ?
The one thing I noticed is the original anneal eeze isn't any more expensive except you probably have to pay for shipping that you probably don't buying off Amazon prime so to me its not worth the chance of getting a crap reverse engineered copy , plus as stated above screwing the guy who marketed it first plus getting an American made product.... just doesn't seem like a great deal.... if it was $100 buck maybe worth a chance but not when the price is about the same.....

True that!!
I experienced their copying on airgun adapters I make and sell on eBay. They copied almost all of them, as well as the listings I had there, along with my exact words and misspelling in them. Half, even third of the price. And one could see on the pictures that it was crap! But, sales dropped dead. I just hope they dont copy the annealer I make and sell now....
