I. Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing a
BENCH-SOURCE
case neck annealing machine. This unit 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.
Other benefits not found on other competitors models-
1)
You may use one or two heat sources. Not necessary to
perfectly
setup two nozzles because
the cartridge case spins on a stationary spindle while heating.
2)
Torch tips are adjustable in height, angle, distance and vertical tilt by two clamp knobs. (No
Wing Nuts) Sets up in 2 minutes from 22 Hornet to the Largest Magnum Cases after you are
familiar with the unit. (Can be supplied for .50 Caliber)
3)
Time of heating is adjustable from 1.5 to 10.0 seconds. Precise control is supplied by micro-
processor unit and 10 bit analog/digital converter. Processor has both a 'Setup' (Manual) control
and 'Automatic Cycle'.
4)
Table Top and Index Plate are made from aluminum and fan cooled by a huge 50 CFM Fan
Unit. They will not heat up significantly during use! No plastic to bow or warp. Table acts as a heat
sink to help maintain hardness in the cartridge case head.
5)
Index Plate is fixed and indexed by a Geneva Drive Wheel. The wheel is always engaged and
will not “free wheel”. This reduces the chance of binding and over loading motors. It also eliminates
the necessity of confirming wheel position before operation.
6)
The unit has a small foot print of 10” Wide x 12” Long x 6” Tall (Excluding Clamp Posts). Weight
is approximately 12 pounds. Unit is sized for portability.
7)
Supplied with a built in level and (4) adjusting feet. (Unit only needs to be
moderately level). The Drive Wheel thickness is 1/4" eliminating cartridge tip over in
almost any caliber.
8)
All aluminum parts are anodized either Black or Clear to prevent oxidation over
time and has a very pleasing look. Guarding is made from #3003 decorative
aluminum with a natural finish for long term eye appeal.
9)
The unit will process about 500-600 cartridges per hour. Average time is 4-5 seconds for
heating and 2 seconds for indexing on most .308 and Magnum case sizes. (Can be programmed
up to 10 seconds heating time for single torch use or .50 Caliber Annealing)
10)
Limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship to original owner.
(Electronics & Motors are limited to 2 years).
11)
If ordered direct from BENCH-SOURCE the unit has a 15 day, no questions asked
return guarantee. (Please contact us for details).
