good because I had to leave and I bid $5.00 guess what the SL-20 went for $.99 +15 S&H and 1.60 for insurance so under 20 bucks for a temp controlled station...

Actually, It seems no problem to use lead solder on leadfree parts. I use it every day for prototypes, using production components that of course must be lead...

I use leaded solder on lead free parts all the time. Most of what I do has to go to high temperature, so I have been using one of the lead free solders for...

Yeah, I think it will do the job. I am partial to the little Hakko stations, and have several. I like the analog knob control ones; the Hakko digital...
well this this is a digital one too hope it's not such a PITA. There are like 12 LED's although one is power and one a warning light about the heater I think....
But the adjusting knob is analog. I think people most dislike the digital stations because one needs to push a lot of buttons in order to change temperature....

The temp is not that critical really. 700-800 degrees catches all the common lead-free alloys. The main problem with the higher iron temperatures is that it...
