One of my shooting buddies happens to be an electronic engineer and is making me a relatively simple and robust induction annealing machine so I can get even neck tension on my reloads. If any of you might also be interested in such a gadget comment below and I will keep you posted about how the machine develops in case he is willing to make some for other people at some point in the future.
Would anyone be interested in an affordable, UK made induction annealing machine?

yep me also.Yes very interested
Jolly good - I will keep a list of interested people. At the moment it is early days as he is working on coil geometry and looking at ways the annealer could automatically and easily adjust for differences in types of brass. So if the shooter happens, for example, to be annealing a jumbled up mix of Lapua (thick necks) and PPU brass (thin necks) the system would automatically optimize the length of anneal on a case by case basis. If you'll pardon the pun.

A friend made one using a readily available unit from eBay. It’s still manual and probably the most cost effective method.
Interested!
Yes for someone who is decent at electrical engineering it should be possible to make a basic induction annealer in an afternoon for about £100. But I am cack-handed and would just end up electrocuting myself or burning the house down so I would rather leave it to the professionals.
It’s based around one of these.

Yes there is an American chap who has some detailed videos on how he has developed brass annealing using one of these ebay handheld annealers. It cost less than $200 overallIt’s based around one of these.
