Brass case Annealing Machine

[Furrybean]

I though about buying a machine until I saw the price so I made this

I am not an engineer and most parts came from the bay
I could take a few photos of the works if anyone is interested

Steve, if that is your machine hats off to you. Its the best design Ive seen and Im getting the bits together to make one.
What is the push pull solenoid you have used? I got one but it was a little limp wristed!

The push solenoid in a central locking solenoid from maplins I think it was less than a tenner I used the linkage rod that came with it and a small spring to return,as it was a little random with it's stop position.
The ferrel in the case I passed the rod through is a alluminium pot rivet if I recall a 5mm x 20mm of the type that does not leave the broken steel centre pin in.
Hope this is of help

Very very sweet machine, would love more details.

question on finishing as i see and hear 2 trains of thought. quench or not to quench?

Very very cool machine, would sell the plans

I quench, I didn't use to but I dropped a hot case on the spare bedroom carpet and a replacement carpet cost me a lot of grief from the wife and £180!
