Would this work!!

[Davey Boy]

Just wondering if this would work as an anealer? Any ideas on adapting it, timers, power units and such. Its reasonable enough but I know zip about induction anealing.

Looks like you'd need a bunch more parts.

 

[Davey Boy]

That's why I posted. I want to know how this would work and what else would be needed to make it work as an annealer. I know zip about it so am asking the forum what they think of using this for an annealer.

If you are a DIY person,
here is some info for building your own annealer,
for a $100 or less,
both of these sites are long reads, but worth it IMHO,
see info here;

I have all the parts, just need time to build mine, now.

Thanks NVReloader I already have made one like that and it works well. But wondering if an induction one can be made from the modular that I listed, and what if any other stuff would I need to go along with it.

IMO, it should work fine. The 20amp 24 volt power supply may cost you an arm and a leg though ....

Thanks Lapua I will peruse this and see if I can come up with something.

Dave, before you jump off the deep end, I'd suggest you find as much material as you can on induction heaters. Here's a list links that are worth reviewing if you so choose.

... I know zip about it ...

Be careful. If in doubt, stop and find help from someone who has experience with this kind of stuff. You can hurt yourself fatally messing around with electrical current. 20V may be dangerous given the right conditions

Or just bite the bullet and buy a Annie!

 

[Davey Boy]

Wow there is more to making an induction anealer than I thought. I looked at http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/induction-brass-annealer-redux.3908353/ .
Im not good at complicated schematics concerning electronic or electrical. And I don't have the coin for an Annie.

Thanks for all who contributed to my question, quess I will stick with the Skip's version annealer that I made.

Davey-

I was in the same boat as you and decided to play it safe and have little or no aggravation. Buy one.

 

[GrocMax]

If electrons aren't your friends, and you need a plug in solution, yes buy a commercially available one. If you are comfortable with electronics the sky is the limit, you can build it complex or simple.
