Greetings Elecraft afficiados, I'm looking for a recommendation for a soldering station, my Weller temperature-controled station of 20 years is dying an agonizing death and its time to upgrade! I don't use my soldering station a lot, maybe once a month and once in a while put a kit together,

Re: [Elecraft] Soldering station recommendation in preparation for building a K1

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, 73 - Petr,

Re: [Elecraft] Soldering station recommendation in preparation for building a K1

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... 73, Steve WB3LGC On 24-Jan-16 4:04 PM, Reuben Popp

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

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 It's been replaced by the FX-888.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. On 1/23/2016 9:11 PM, Mark Petrovic wrote:

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.

Re: [Elecraft] : Soldering station recommendation in preparation forbuilding a K1

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

Re: [Elecraft] Soldering station recommendation in preparation for building a K1

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
