I'm gathering parts to put together an automated brass annealing machine similar to this (random picture found on the internet):
The concept is fairly straightforward, and this doesn't look to be a very difficult build... But the thing I'm struggling with right now is how I'm going to cut the cake pan. I've got a 6" diameter 2" high cake pan. I need to trim it down to about 1" high. I could fairly easily do it with a dremel or angle grinder with cutting wheel, but I don't think the cut will come out very clean.
My current plan is to mount the pan on the motor, turn it on, and keep the dremel in a mount that can be placed against the pan, and just let it spin and cut itself, if that makes sense.
Anyone else have a better plan? Or if anyone has done a similar build, share how you did yours?
