CASE NECK ANNEALING MACHINE Reviews & Ratings

BENCH-SOURCE CASE NECK ANNEALING MACHINE

The BENCH-SOURCE case neck annealing machine is used exclusively to anneal and refurbish your Bottle Neck and Long Straight Wall cartridge cases for reloading. It will restore your case necks to ‘like new’ condition and extend the life of your cartridge cases. The net result is reduced reloading cost and improved accuracy. The uniformity of case neck tension will allow you to seat your bullets with less run out and more consistency in your reloads. Can be used with one or two heat sources since the cartridge case spins on a stationary spindle while heating. Heating times can be adjusted from 1.5 to 10 seconds. Manufactured out of aluminum and fan cooled; no plastic to bow or warp and the table acts as a heat sink to ensure cartridge case head integrity. This unit will process about 500-600 cartridges per hour, expect an average time of 4-5 seconds for heating and 2 seconds for indexing for a standard 308 case.

Good machine

The machine is very easy to set up and simple to use. Its easy to apply the same amount of heat to each piece of brass. I would recommend using a larger propane tank and attaching hoses to the torches. The smaller individual bottles were to heavy and required excessive tightening to keep them in place. Seems to be a solid well built machine.

Great quality product

The quality of the materials and workmanship are excellent on this machine. I've been using this for about 2 years now and have annealed thousands of cases and it still looks and performs as new. The set up is fairly simple, the results are excellent and repeatable and it can process the brass pretty quickly. The biggest down side is the fact that you have to constantly feed the turn table with new brass - there is no hopper or feeding mechanism for large batches.
