    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Another option is sugar, it dissolves easily as well. Also, when I made mine, I wrapped it with fiberglass sheathing on it, but since it shredded badly, I picked the pieces out of the coil. I was left with a coil that looks almost exactly like yours and the sheathing gave me excellent spacing...

    Will you take the same $50 the one above went for? If so, then I am interested. PM me.

    I may be wrong, but you might be saying infrared sensor when you mean proximity sensor...I think each uses a different effect to trigger the sensor...

    Arken/Outlier chassis rifle build

    Well, only 10 months and 10 days into the 5-8 week wait time, my barrel finally arrived. It does appear to be 26" long and a 7SAUM cartridge does appear to fit and someday I'll eventually give it a shot...but I'll NEVER order another from these guys considering the delay in production/shipping...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    What brand of brass did you use for the timer test? Just remember that all brands are not created equal...the time for Hornady brass will probably differ from Lapua for an optimal anneal. Different brass composition, different wall thickness, etc. will affect the time required. But at the...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    When I made that suggestion for relays, I wasn't aware you were using 6 volts to switch your SSR...my bad. I saw your posts on the other forum (which shall not be named), and if you have access to 12V power in your build, you could use that first suggestion to use the SSR you have to switch the...

    I'm using one of those on my 7SAUM rifle, and I put a chunk of steel round bar inside the tube to increase the weight...worked well.

    Arken/Outlier chassis rifle build

    When did you order your barrel? I ordered mine July 22nd. I hope they haven't gone 'fly-by-night' and are just charging all outstanding orders before they disappear off the face of the earth...

    Arken/Outlier chassis rifle build

    Well, I'm 9.5 months into my 5-8 week wait for a barrel...they did finally charge me for the barrel 3 weeks ago, and even though the invoice says they don't charge until they are ready to ship I haven't heard anything except that it would ship 'shortly'...a week ago...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Thanks, but I can't take any credit for the computer case, but most of the rest of the parts (mounting brackets, case feeder, front coil plate and platform) were all designed in Fusion360 to specifically fit that model case and were 3D printed and I'm pleased with how they turned out. One...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Hi, all. Finally finished the rebuild of my induction annealer! Here is a pic of the original build Rebuilt it into a full-tower computer case so that I would have room above the ZVS board and coolant system for the automatic case feeder. Some things I've added since the original build...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Okay, here is a simplified schematic of the electrical part of my build: First, you have to think of a relay as having 2 modes (upper right corner). The first mode is when it is unpowered, and the input signal/current is going into the common (center) contact. That contact is NOT connected...

    Here is a pic to help explain: Edit: It may be unclear, but in the red box, only the connection blades are relevant. That other metal part on the left side is just a mounting bracket.

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    The PS I'm using now is this 48V/1500W I got off Amazon (Canadian Amazon) because they were a good price at the time I found them... https://www.amazon.ca/Switching-150W-1500W-Equipment-Reulated-Transformer/dp/B08JZB5KNG/ but I started with a 48V/1000W model, also off Amazon, and it worked...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Some other thoughts (just spitballing here...): - make sure your coil wraps don't touch each other anywhere...use a piece of thin string and start at one end of the coil and slide it around all the loops until you get to the other end...it should never get caught. - something I've heard on at...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Some things to remember: (if using the Sestos B3S timer) - AC power into connectors #9 and #10 (hot and neutral) - Low voltage (ie 12V) into connectors #4 and #7 to get switched voltage out of corresponding NO or NC pins - The control connector pins, #2 (Start), #12 (Stop), and #11 (Gate) are...
