    Annealing Machines

    Re: Annealing Machines I have a benchsource on order and will pick it up when I get to the states. Been wanting on for ages. The Giraud also looks to be a very good unit. I contemplated getting one but decided to stick with the Vertex. I think the autofeed function on the Giraud is brilliant.
