I have the Ken Light machine that was on 6mmbr. I don't think I could have built one that does the same job for much less, especially if you figure in the time required to build it.

I would not recommend one for the casual handloader, but if you are shooting match rounds to the tune of 2 or 3 hundred a month or more, the old propane torch and bucket method is really too slow and you'll need to anneal a lot more often than most folks.
