Hundreds of people have built ones that operate similar to the first one I built.

Lots of examples in this thread.

There are lots of other homemade machines too but this style is the only one that lets you anneal anything from 50 BMG down and you don't need any "conversions" or extra parts.

thank you for the link just looking for a simpler one for me to make something with a cake pan and a small motor and maybe a dimer switch for speed control and a way to hold the
torch in place

looking for a simpler one

It doesn't get much simpler than standing the cases up in a cakepan with water, heating them with a propane torch and then knocking them over to quench and it doesn't take up any space in your garage or basement.

I started doing it by turning cases by hand over a candle flame, when it gets too hot to hold annealing is complete . It works incredibly well with no risk of ruining brass from over cooking. I can do about 250 cases an hour.

Do a Google search for "skips annealer" - Skip is an Aussie who designed and built his own. You will find a few youtube videos of his device....

That was the one I was looking for when he said "cake pan".

This is it.

This is the thread I was looking for, should be all the info for that style you need to build one.

Thanks jmorris

I have been thinking about building one....may be I will. Looks like a fun little project that won't break the bank.

Just curious, why do you think you "need" a annealing machine?

This works very well!

No problem, be sure to post a thread here on your build. Will be easier to find next time.
