AMP Machine

I ordered one of these annealing machines today. Tired of having to set up my propane annealer every time I use it, just for a few brass. It as backordered. No idea when I will get it. Hopefully before the end of May.

I'm looking at it for a while. Bloody expensive.
On the last Shot Show they've announced the new "Aztec" firmware for it for extra $250, it can analyze your brass for best annealing time, but you'll have to sacrifice one case. Neat, but still quite pricey.
Off to buy some lottery tickets...

Getting good press in Oz but extremely expensive. All reports suggest the results are impressive.

There very good and do a top job. However, if you have a lot of brass to do there not the best option. Once reach optimum temperature they switch off. Only when they have completely cooled down, they will then work again. Mates getting about 20 done before it shuts down.

That sucks!!!

Only if you have a lot of brass to do. However they are a great unit.

I bit the bullet a year ago and bought one. Very impressed with how easy it is to use and the consistency of the results. I do not have any issue with it shutting down on me when doing a lot of brass. I regularly do batches in excess of 300 - it takes less than an hour- and it has never shut down on me. I suspect that something is wrong with the unit if it is shutting down after only 20. I looked at Aztek, but it is expensive and (for me) unnecessary. So far, they have already performed the analysis for all of my brass and so I just looked online at their list, found my brass and put in the program numbers.

All performance issues i have read about wwere when the machine was used in a room over 70 degrees. the company sugest keeping machine 70 degrees. if your garage or shop is hot, it could shut down fairly qickly.

I have the EZ Anneal unit on order. Really keen to see how it goes.I think the EZ machine is water cooled

So what you are saying is Australians in the ACT or south of there will be fine running it for 6 months of the year, the rest of us need a walk in cool room to operate it in

Just turn the air conditioning on.

That's normally set on 24C /75F thanks to electricity costs

I keep mine on 70 degrees year round. My bill averages 150.00 a month.

I process between 100 and 200 at a time and have never had it shut down. im in Vic. and I have used it year round.

That's because any day of the year in VIC can be 5 degrees, and if it's not then just wait an hour till the season changes.
