I have a Ken Light annealing machine. Due, I am sure, to my being dense, I cannot make it work to my satisfaction. Can anyone suggest a relative high volume annealer that works well, quickly, and reliably? I will be annealing 3-400 cases at a time, and often.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I use a lithium drill and gas torch as well but have a simpler case holding system. I use a deep socket and it is much quicker to drop a case in and drop it out. Three sockets take care of the different sized cases.

Lately I have been using the Anneal-Rite (www.cartridgeanneal.com.) and it works very well--and can crank 'em right out. Once I get it set up and running it would do a case every 6 seconds. Very simple design so not expensive.

No, I haven't! Still use that method when annealing 20-50 big game cases, as it takes less time to set up.

You dont like my little work bench? Or are you referring to my table? Those boxes are my storage containers.

I like your work bench. It looks better than mine.

I have been happy with my Giraud.Once you get it set-up and adjusted,you load the hopper and watch it work.Cartrige changes are not hard to do, or time consuming. Lightman

I still like my candle and a damp towel.
