Greetings,
I'm going to purchase a solder station, probably one of the popular Weller or
Hakko units, with additional tips. Both manufacturers sell accessories to
calibrate the stations. Some recommend performing a temp calibration whenever
you replace the tip or the iron. All well and good until you see the cost of
these calibration (test) units. Would it be prudent to forego the calibrations
altogether, and just swap tips as needed, and rely on the initial cal to keep
it in the ballpark? I'm guessing after getting used to the station, you will
have a sense of proper temp for a particular job, and could just tweak the temp
setting up or down as needed without really getting into the calibration
arena. Just wanted to see what folks thought about calibration and if it was
worth it. Thanks. 73
