John,
Glad you enjoyed it, but enliven people's spirits is what I Dew;  hence
a lot of Bars with the name Dew Drop Inn. 
I was a little surprised no one commented on the Easter Bunny/Black Pad
analogy. There were several hidden allegories, besides the juvenile
humor and prophetic predilection.
Dewey

I agree. Plato's tips have withstood the test of time.

Two things, when using a no-clean flux you will go through more tips 
than you do when using a water soluble. Also, Plato makes tips for 
different solder systems such as Hakko, Pace, Metcal, Weller and others.

I have found that Plato's tips last much longer than other tips. I was 
told by other engineers that Plato started out as a plating company, and

that is one of the reasons their tips last longer. I don't know if that 
is true, but they sure do last longer.

 Doug, 
Surprised on your comment on the tips lasting longer. We have found that

we burn through the JBC tips much more quickly then the Metcal. I do 
have to agree that the operators prefer the JBC though.......

Well Phil, Metcals are fine if you like burning through tips pretty 
quickly.  We are changing over to the new JBCs.  Operators love em and 
the tips last a lot longer.

Hi Roger, 

Metcal....for soldering station selection. 

The bean counters won't like it, but your operators will love you for 
it. 

Just make sure your operators are trained in how to use the equipment 
correctly. 

Learn how to spot bad tips and how to properly take care of the 
equipment. 

There are lots of options when it comes to desoldering and hot air 
rework stations however. 

Hope this helps... 

Phil

Roger, 
You just opened yourself to a mess of e-mails from sales people who 
monitor this forum. I am not such a person. 

I really like the Metcal irons. They are more expensive but I feel they 
perform better than any other iron. I will catch a lot of flack for the 
previous statement but hey, I have an opinion. 

Good luck. Joel

Subject: [TN] Solder Stations 

I am looking to establish an electrical/electronic capability. I need 
advise on the best solder stations to purchase for a general surface 
mount, thru-hole new and rework capability. 

I will want a variety of tip sizes, easy to change tips, adjustable 
temperatures in some manner, good capacity (little temperature 
fluctuation when you put the tip on high mass connections), no current 
leakage, and no stray voltages. 

Thanks, 
Roger
