workbench and kit projects for the winter.
AGAIN this year, I have a number of quality soldering/desoldering available

Hi Deni:
I'm hoping to get a Hakko 936 (or it's clone) very soon and
wondering what would be the best tip to order for SMT work? I'll be
building the SoftRock Lite kit for use with my K3 so have decided
it's time to upgrade the soldering tools. I've managed a small SMT
project for my K2

OK here's what you do. You get the handpiece to the Weller WTCPT and
you just run it on DC. The base unit is just a transformer. Actually
maybe not DC, run the handpiece on AC, use a transformer to step down
your wall voltage and there you go. The temp control is all in the
handpiece with

I use a METCAL soldering station and a METCAL Desoldering station.
This is a real high end and expensive set-up and not for everyone.

I recently purchased a Xytronic 379 Auto-Temp soldering station.
I also purchased several optional tips.I was mainly interested in
the XY-B03 fine tip for circuit boards with tiny pads such as the K2
SSB board.I've found the long Xy-B03 fine tip to be worthless due to it

This is why you need to get a Weller WTCPT which still uses real
copper, iron-clad tips and is made in the USA. I swear by my Weller,
life is too short for junky irons! 73 de Alex NS6Y.

Weller is good but not made in the USA. At least not anymore.
Components are made in China and Mexico like everything else.
Get whatever you are comfortable
I met two Metcal engineers (retired) at the SVARO.org swap meet and they
showed me a lot. They said they operate on 13.52MHz. They will go
through a solder ingot one minute and solder SMT's the next. They said
early models had no SWR foldback and they added 2 zeners for
protection. Also
I'm glad you brought that up since I love the Metcal. You can get
decent Metcal stuff on Ebay. If I had to choose one iron, and I did,
since I had a Metcal too, I'd choose my Weller. There's another
brand, Japanese, called Hakko and imitators of the Weller stuff but
that's ok they're good.
I agee with these comments. Weller has a good reputation but is also a very
high end product price wise here in Hong Kong. Hakko, Goot, though 'made in
Japan' are similar and also made with outsourced parts and probbaly labour. A
Hakko 936 runs about $150 and a Hakko 808 desoldering gun around
When I was going through certification for soldering at Grumman back in the
'60's, the mantra was, if the solder won't flow, do not raise the heat, use a
bigger iron...It makes sense, solder melts a 361 degrees regardless of the size
of the job..
I remember trying to solder strain gauges on
retirement age.

You do change the tip to change the temperature -- from your message
'the temerature controlling element in the Weller is the tip', and 'I
use a PTB7 tip'. The 7 in the part number is the temperature of the
tip. It is a 700 deg F tip.

Once again I read about having to change the tip in the Weller WTCP 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,
My favorite iron is also a WTCP but it is probably older than some of the
folks on this reflector. The only way to change its temperature is to
replace the tip. I have four different tips but they are all set for 700
degress. They are different only in their shape and size. I only use my
Hakko
I need some recommendations on a soldering
station and also approx cost if you know it.
I'm having good luck with the Hakko 936 I bought from www.wassco.com for
$88.50.
Read the recommendations scattered throughout the Elecraft site (Builder
Resources has several articles) and you'll find
Support Don's advice - I have also been pleased with the Solomon

the SL-30 from Vann Draper, which reads in Celsius over here. Understand
it is just the same inside as the led version. Has a neat set/read switch

Yep, just saw that myself, Bob!
That's my motto: Ready, FIRE!, Aim...
I consider a quick and easy method of changing temperatures essential in a
soldering station.
I used to have trouble with the blob method of removing enamel and a few
other simple chores such as using desoldering braid that

I recommend the Hakko 936-12/P soldering station with ESD protection.
Available from Tequipment.net for approx. $84.00 plus about $12.00 SH.
I ordered mine this past Jan. and received it in a few days. Excellent
service and price.

The popular ones I see mentioned regularly are the various Weller's and the
Hakko's. I have a Hakko 936 and like the simple 'turn the knob' temperature
