Would anyone be interested in an affordable, UK made induction annealing machine?

There is also a Scottish bloke named Bruce who has adapted a PC cabinet to make a pretty nice annealer. But again I don't trust myself to fiddle around with these things and not get electrocuted:

AKA, our own....

I’m interested

Thanks everyone, I have notified my pal that there is some interest so what he is going to do is continue to develop the annealing machine. When it reaches a reasonable level of development he will make some videos of the annealing machine in action and post them on YouTube so people can comment and critique it. He will then refine the machine further and then if people are still interested in owning one then he will make some on a first come first serve basis in the order of this thread.

Yes, alway buy British if I can!

Please tell your pal that if he needs any help, just to get in touch with me.
I have no interest in producing an induction annealer commercially but am prepared to help someone who wants to do that.

Cheers

Thanks Bruce, that's great - I sent him your video.

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.

The simple solution would seem to be for the reloader to measure neck thickness with his caliper and a simple calibrated dial or timer on the annealer. Even the most basic reloader like me would find that easy).

Very interested - if - and it’s a big ‘if’ - there’s a way of assessing the optimum time/temperature a case should be heated for & that time can be precisely controlled (basically as the AMP does it).

Creating an induction annealer isn’t the problem, there are quite a number of different machines already on the market - some looking very ‘Heath Robinson’ others somewhat better packaged but none combine the exactness & fine control of the process that the AMP offers (albeit for a price).

Me too!


Arrrr noooo,,,,,,I mean count me in

 

[fizzbangwhallop]

Yep, count me in too please


One I did look at a few years ago was the Wojtek872 one made over in Poland




cheers
