For Sale: “Ugly Annealer” Gas Annealer

Just ordered one! Any recommendations for a torch to go on the bottle?

Cheers Matt
I think the “Fine Flame” by Go Systems is a good one and ticks all the boxes.

As for gas, I always recommend propane rather than MAPP, as MAPP burns much hotter so gives a narrower “window” for your annealing. If you know what you’re doing it’s fine, but has a bigger risk of overcooking the brass is all.

😊
 
Jonathon from YouTube channel “Harry Von Hoofpigs” has kindly done a review video on the Ugly Annealer (he wasn’t paid to do so!!) which some may find useful/interesting….

 
After weeks of sitting on the fence I took the plunge and ordered one last night,forgot I had finally pushed button until i saw the email this morning!
Looking forward to playing with over the winter.
 
I am going to buy one, but changing calibres this month means that with the barrel etc (and probably a scope as mine has been found to be a bit knackered). it may have to wait a month :-). even with the kind offers for blue light

the wife was reading over my shoulder and said she will buy me one as a thank you for building a sidecar outfit earlier this year... she cannot ride as far these days due to joint issues! so I will be buying one

Ordered!

For the £ these are. Nothing beats them.

Very easy to setup and run, and well built too.

I seem to remember too when I bought mine spare parts are readily available too @Derraco
The likes of the motor if worn out can be easily replaced?
I made my own turntable annealer and it cost more than this 5 years ago.
I would've bitten an arm off back then for something like this.
Now? This is insanely good value.

No point in having shiny annealed brass if you’ve nothing to load them into! 😂

Hopefully I’ve gotten better at keeping them in stock so no rush ☺️

Well seeing as I reload various calibres, 303, 556, 6.5 Swedish, and the wife was paying, I ordered it yesterday lunchtime. (and got a discount for being ex forces and 999) Post Office says it will be delivering this morning! Now that is good service!
looking forward to setting it up and putting the first few hundred through it over this weekend.
I have a gadget that allows me to refill camping stove gas canisters (similar to eBay item number:126099100224).... will have to see if I can get one to refill the canisters for this torch from bigger bottles.

You’ll be spot on with those calibres 👌🏼

Would be ace if you feel confident to share some photos/a few words, once you’re up and running? It’s one thing for me to say it’s a good machine, but I’m somewhat biased 😂 the best reviews come from real world - nothing hidden that way ❤️
 
Just as a for info, the below is the torch I’ve been using and works very well. If you pop the below into eBay there’s lots of options around £23 give or take.
