Grouse Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Looking at doing my own brass annealing, appears to be different types of "heads" for the propane bottles. Which type should I use or doesn't it matter? Cheers Grouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achosenman Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It depends how you intend to anneal I guess. I use a Benchsource that uses two 1/2 inch Bernz O Matic heads. Fantastic machine that takes only a few minutes to run through 100 cases. If your are not using a machine you need a fine burner. You don't want flame on the shoulder area.

Grouse Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 DIY in a shell holder/socket, yes I was thinking a fine flame but not sure on the name to ask for? Is it a pencil flame burner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 just googled it too, does most people use a bernzo matic canister or propane? Any difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achosenman Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I use Propane canisters from my local plumbing merchants.Yes a pencil flame is what you want. About .5 inch is perfect. Lots of heat quickly, but accurately applied.FWIW a vast amount of info on YT is wrong. You don't want cherry red or anything close.Atb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks for the info, I was kindly shown by Baldie how much heat to apply, it wasn't cherry red! Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
