    Someone on here was selling annealers, I'd like to see the video again and the cost

    Someone on here was selling annealers and for the life of me I cannot seem to find the thread even in the search engine. Post up please.

    Scroll down on the reloading equipment for sale. It was in March 2019, by B S express annealer. There is a Facebook link in the post.

    Found it: https://sagesreloadingforum.com/thre...press-Annealer

    Seems like some of the information is not there anymore like a video link. I've emailed to see if they are still making them. Anyone buy one?

    Those looks pretty well made. I made my own for under $100 using plans/ideas from a thread on 68forums. Do a google search for "DIY annealer".annealer.jpg

    I've seen a few DIY models like the one shown. Evidently they work fine? I started pricing parts on one and the motors alone were 80.00 so I was figuring I'd be in it almost 175.00 by the time done as I've seen the $100 price a few times for DIY but just did a preliminary look at that? Evidently I'm looking at the wrong parts. I may have to take a second view. Cannot seem to part with 275.00 for the Annealeez.

    Here's the parts list from the original thread I referenced when building mine: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...Aj7xa0eX0/edit

    The motors are less than $10 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/LYWS-Gear-box.../dp/B00NDZ0FOA I think I paid around $15 for mine, LOL.

    Speed controller: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Du...9ETECDHNG78ABX (I think this is the right one, just going by the photo)

    Power Supply: https://www.amazon.com/LEDMO-Switchi...69VRWBSMQHPGH9 (Again, I *think* this is the right one/right size)

    Those are the three most expensive components. I only used one speed controller. My feed drum runs wide open whenever there is not a case in front of the inductive sensor (the orance "spot" at the bottom of the feed ramp) and stops as soon as a case is waiting for the cake pan annealing drum to complete its revolution. The only speed controller is for the cake pan drum. So with 2 motors/1 speed controller/1 power supply, you're at $60-65 for the major components. The thread I referenced above has some great tips/tricks/mods that others have incorporated into their annealers. For me it was a fun project and in the end, it works great. Well worth the time and small cash outlay to build mine. If you prefer to buy vs. build, I'd go with the Annealeez: https://annealeez.com/product/annealeez/

    Here is the video with the parts list for the one I built a few years ago. Right around $100 and it works perfect for the amount of annealing I need to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0xE-6bSwME

    Great video, Flyeralan! Here's a video of mine. https://vimeo.com/user547635/review/...304/52b2c7a9f1

    I built mine with 3 different cake pan depths and two different feed drums. This lets me do anything from .300BLK to .300WM.

    That link didn't work for me. I used one pan for mine, made it deep and have spacers to insert to do shorter cartridges, and made the feed ramp adjustable. Works super for as simple as it is.
