WRONG. You do have to change the tip on the Magnetrol type Weller stations, of which the WTCPT is one, that's the beauty of it - no nimrod technicians cranking a variable control up to 900 degrees and lifting pads. I was just in fry's today buying two tips for my own beloved WTCPT, a 700 degree fine point tip and an 800 degree flat tip. 73 de Alex NS6Y (whose KX1 LED turns out to be white after all).

soldering station in order to change the temperature...This is just not so
and makes me wonder if I am listening to someone who has never used the
Weller...I have both the Weller WTCP and the Hakko 936 and the Weller wins, hands down...In my working days, over 40 years of soldering, I used Wellers, Paces, Edsyns, you name it, the Weller WTCP is my first choice...And, it is
MADE IN THE USA!!!...
