Make a stand for Annealeez Gen 3?

[gifbohane]

I bought one of these Annealeez gen 3 machines. The propane bottle moves all over the place representing a danger.

I am going to try to manufacture a "stand" that keeps the bottle and the machine stationary.

Has anyone tried this or come up with a solution to keep the whole thing stable?

Jeff used to offer a hose setup, but he was having a hard time sourcing the parts for a reasonable price. Thats why they stopped doing it. For a few bucks, you can copy this with a little spending spree on Amazon for the hoses, and the hardware store for a couple bolts. I also recommend getting the hose that alows you to run a 20# tank as the flame is far more consistent and cheaper longer term.



Pretty sure this hose will get you from a 20# tank into a standard disposable bottle torch

I just use a thin rubber mat under the bottle and muffler clamp and the Annealeez. Works great. I really like how quick and easy it is to adjust the bottle with the clamp.

One of these hoses will allow you to connect your torch to a 20lb tank, if you already use them. https://www.homedepot.com/p/GASONE-...SPICOmqcrEc6v55sz2EaAplBEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
At that point you just put your tank on the ground nearby.




If I read every post to the end first, I would have said go with #2.
