Fretz Annealing Pans

Constructed in cast iron to provide steady, even heat, the Fretz annealing pans were designed to offer a sturdy platform for annealing and soldering operations. Developed to eliminate the wobbling common in other lighter pans, these annealing pans ride smoothly on a heavy-duty ball bearing that allows them to offer a stable, deliberate rotation that provides users with 360-degree access to their work. Two sizes are available: The 12 inch pan can accommodate up to 2 lbs. of pumice, while a 6 inch version can be filled with 1 lb. of pumice.
