Greetings Elecraft afficiados, I'm looking for a recommendation for a soldering

I don't use my soldering station a lot,
I like my Aoyue 937. Amazon has 'em for $59.95.

Greetings Elecraft afficiados, I'm looking for a recommendation for a soldering
station, my Weller temperature-controled station of 20 years is dying an

I don't use my soldering station a lot, maybe once a month and once in a while
put a kit together, s
Hi Mark,
any kind of Weller is good with proper tip mounted.
Do not use extremelly tiny tip as it could make warming through issues.
Most important is grounding your Weller properly as same as using ESD mat
grounded.
Good luck in building your K1 and see you on the air soon Mark,

Hi Edward,
Do you do much SMD work? If so, what do you use
for that? I'm thinking of getting a hot air rework
station to make life easier with SMD, which seems
to be the future.

I use a WELLER SOLDERING STATION -- MODEL WTCPN 60 watt
BUT my REAL recommendation is to get Kester 62, 36, 2 Sn, Pb, Ag solder.
It can be had in 1# AND smaller packs. It DOES a great job. The 2%
silver is what makes it work super...

I got one of these hot air rework stations with a digital temperature
controlled iron on eBay in the UK. Takes regular Hakko soldering iron tips. It
is model 862D+ and is well made, and excellent value for money. I already had
another analog temperature controlled iron but prefer this one now.

I built my K2 with an old Weller TC-202 I have here; it's my "go to" iron
for most of my projects. That iron was "gifted" to me after serving hard
time at the local community college. It's not super pretty, but it still
works and well at that. You would be hard pressed to find a better deal
IMO.
I have the Hakko 936D which isn't made anymore. It's been replaced by
the FX-888.
I second Don's recommendation for the 1/16" chisel tip.
I built my loaded K2/100, KAT-100, 2T-gen, N-Gen, and XG2 with the 936
using the 1/16" and 1/8" chisel tips.

Hi.
I have the genuine HAKKO FX-951 (ESD safe) solder station which is
essential for good soldering. It does cost double the other guys but
the "sleep" mode is very nice as tip temp is dropped to 450F when
solder iron is parked in its holder. It returns to 670F (temp fully
adjustable) a few secon
,
works amazingly well, and saves a great deal of embarassment.

Ditto here on the WES51 solder station, very well-built and reliable.

Mark,
Most any temperature controlled soldering station will do a good job for
you.
I use the Hakko 936 soldering station although I believe that has been
discontinued. Circuit Specialists does have a knock-off of the Hakko
936 which takes the same tips. You might want to consider something
I have the Hako FX888D
I love it. I work in electronics manufacturing and our factory
equipment guy recommended them.
