I heard that Obama said that the epicenter was located on Bush's Fault...

The 450 is rated at 1200W. The Mini-ductor draws a max of 10A at 120V. P = VI cos (Theta). I don't know what the phase angle is for the mini-ductor (but it has to be wicked inductive), but the power drawn must be less than 1200W. For the few seconds of annealing, I've never had a problem...

I bought a GraLab 450 on Ebay. You should be able to find one in good shape for about $60 delivered. Induction annealers are easy to set up and the process seems to be very repeatable for me. There are many folks who swear by their flame annealers too, so each must decide what makes the...
