What annealing machines are you all using ?

[PatMiles]

AMP with Aztec of course.

 

[skeeljc]

Annealeez. Works for me.

 

[walker2713]

So how often must brass be annealed?

After each firing....

 

[powderbrake]

Annie with watercooled coil.

 

[INTJ]

AMP with Aztec. Very fast and easy to use. Not really expensive when you consider how long you'll be using it.

 

[rijndael]

It's still expensive, no matter how many years of use it provides. It's $1100 more than something else that works and will give at least the same service life.

It's a luxury item, and that's just fine, but it's still has a premium price tag.

 

[Hoot]

Being retired and on a pension with no side gig, I went with this. It really does produce consistent results.

I still have and use an older Ballistic Edge 200, it'a a manual setup, but, I'm not doing huge volumes of cases so, that with some Tempilaq 750, works fine. When my buddy feels sorry for me, he stops over with his AMP with Aztec, so sweet, nice having friends with nice toys.

I am currently using Bench Source but may try Hoot's Induction Annealer; Thanks buddy!!

Nothing else does as precise a job as fast as the AMP with Aztec. I don't consider precision a luxury, and I don't consider some that costs $1100 or $1200 that lasts 30 years as expensive.

Maybe not, but I'm not convinced that the level of precision is necessary.

Annealing Made Perfect

 

[JimSC]

Annealeeze modded with a PWM speed control

 

[Ranger007]

Vey happy with my Giraud going on 4’ish years now not a lick of problems. I do have to say I am pondering an AMP with an AMP Mate.

 

[INTJ]

Maybe not, but I'm not convinced that the level of precision is necessary.

And that is the rub. Most of the time obsessing over precision doesn't matter. However, it's required for what I do.

 

[Cecil S.]

Bench Source. But lust over the AMP.

 

[Richard Jones]

It's still expensive, no matter how many years of use it provides. It's $1100 more than something else that works and will give at least the same service life.

Pretty simple, then, don't buy it. Maybe you could start your own "Why I Think the Level of Precision That the AMP Provides Isn't Necessary" thread.

Hike your own hike.

 

[Mikemci]

^^^^^ Here we go............

Yep.
The rub with this, is that you have everybody, from hunters that shoot one deer a year, to the highest level of benchrest competitors, discussing what works for their application, in the same thread.
The whole gammut of opinions will be expressed.
Apples to oranges.
