You're paying for the research and knowledge of the folks that designed the AMP. I've seen homemade solutions that compare to the AMP and they are a shot in the dark at best.

Goodmorning Devnull, this may pan out to be true however I'm not shooting competition so won't be needing the competitive edge. My guess it this system will keep brass lasting a long time and should hopefully see some improvements over my gas anneal method. I can tell you its 10 times easier than useing a drill with a socket and hand held torch.

When I was considering the available methods for homebrew annealing, I ended building a torch annealer (motor, timer, etc.). By your video is seems the 'time under heat' is slightly shorter for your rig, but the time to handle the brass eats any efficiency that might have been gained by that shorter time. I realize we might be driven by different things here, but I was hyper focused on how much brass I could get done in the shortest time possible, with the least amount of handling. Then again, it might be that intense desire to blaze through a batch of brass is inconsequential anyway.
We glue ourselves to perceptions, and the conceptions that follow, are sometimes married to the flaws of those perceptions. Speaking of myself...
I can’t tell from the video but appears that a fair amount of the case body is within the coil. How much of the case is getting annealed beside the neck and shoulder?

1/4" past the shoulder

Keep it up...I am interested in the direction you are taking.
Been trying to get some testing pics posted to no avail yet. I'll get it figured out. Long story short the Amp annealer is working better than expected. 10 shot 500 yd groups produced zero flyers unlike my ammo that is gas annealed.
I will try to get the Pic posting figured out again so I can put a visual to the differences

You can fiddle. But present it for what it actually is.
Are you really going to suggest "DIY Amp Annealer for $200" looks or sounds anything like this...
And since the Kiwis that make the machines look like a pack of tinkering reprobates themselves I am pretty sure they would be more inclined to be interested rather than peeved.

So why are you?
Pathfinder is alright. I don't take offense to his advice. However, I will post regardless of his attempts to shut me down on the first amendment.
If the information brings some value to someone it's all good and the reason for the post to begin with. I'm personally finding a lot of value in an inexpensive easy to use annealer that I was able to put together in about 2 hours
