I realize that this is not a fabrication question, but can anyone tell me 
what are the technological limits of a single wave (non-turbulent) wave 
soldering machine with convection pre-heating?  By this I mean, is it 
only capable of handling thru hole boards or can it be used for wave 
soldering .050" pitch SMT ICs on the bottom of the board?  Any replies 
are appreciated.
 
Thanks,
