[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1048343, member: 14053"] Mine has 2 motors on. One is a small motor that spins the case and the other is a stepper motor that turns the other motor and case into the flame. The stepper is controlled by dip switches. The times are 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4 and 8 seconds. They can be added up and for the time. Like 2 and 1/4 and 1/2 is 2 3/4 seconds. You set the case in a holder and push a button and the motor holding the case starts to spin while the stepper motor turns it into the flame. When the time is reached the stepper turns it back out the flame and turns it upside down and shakes it so it comes out. It then goes back to the start position and you set another case in it. I use Mapp and a Mapp gas torch. It takes about 2 seconds to do a WSM. I am thinking of switching to propane because the time is greater and if you are off a 1/4 second it won't get as over heated like Mapp does. I watch the flame and when a case goes into the flame the flame is blue and when the case gets hot the blue turns to yellow and walks around the case. When the yellow gets to the back it is done. If you have the lights off it would just start to turn a light orange. I also put the heat more on the shoulder and not on the neck. I want the shoulder and upper body annealed some. When they are done it looks just like a Lapua case from factory. Matt [/QUOTE]
