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, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Soldering-station-recommendation-in-preparation-for-building-a-K1-tp7613008p7613065.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

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 now. I imagine there must be equivalents available over there designed for USA voltages. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soldering-Iron-Desoldering-Unsoldering-Station-Hot-Air-Rework-Gun-Display-/181456682143 I also have a very old Weller temperature controlled iron, but as it uses the magnastat type of tips it isn't ESD safe as the tip doesn't have a solid earth connection. Saying that I have built things like 10 GHz GaAsFET preamps etc with this old iron (when I didn't know any better) with no damage. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 24 Jan 2016, at 22:17, Brendon Whateley wrote: > > Hi Edward, > > Do you do much SMD work?

[Elecraft] Soldering Station Recommendation
On the advice of Jim, K9YC, I bought a Hakko to build a K2 recently, along with a couple of tips of different sizes as Don, W3FPR, suggests. Worked great. I haven¹t built a K1, but based on my experience with a K2 I would strongly recommend you buy a ³solder sucker² as well. Very inexpensive, works amazingly well, and saves a great deal of embarassment.

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 like that. You want an iron that can be adjusted in temperature and has replacable tips. I like the 1/16 inch screwdriver tip for most applications - the flats on the tip will transfer heat better than a conical tip, but your experience may vary, there are many who swear by the conical tips. Do not use a regular non-temperature controlled soldering iron. They get too hot and can damage the board. Those irons were fine when soldering to vacuum tube bases, but those days are in the past unless you are restoring boat anchor gear. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/23/2016 10:11 PM, Mark Petrovic wrote: Hi.
