    DIY case annealing machine - FUN!

    Hey fellow barrel-nuts!

    Just wanted to post some pics and kinda brag on my pops for this new toy he made me...









    Nice to have a Dad with a machine shop in his detached garage! I have relayed some "tweaks" to him on the next one - but he got this prototype pretty much spot on (and he dosen't handload or have any real exposure to reloading or much shooting for that matter).

    Some intial “specs”, etc….

    ? Runs at 1.5 – 4.5 RPM
    ? Can use single or double torch
    ? Automatically rotates the brass so that the flame/heat is evenly distributed around the case neck
    ? Fully adjustable flame tip – up/down/right/left/in/out (albeit we need to tweak that just a bit more)

    Anyway... just wanted to brag a bit. ;D

    I just got word from my Dad that he will be taking pre-orders for the annealer. He can be contacted at delbert.helmuth@hotmail.com.

    All the best,
    Jim
