Glenn: To what station are you referring? ? CR > Hello, > > I'm finally getting around to buying a soldering station. My old Weller has > served me well but the time has come to move on to something more versatile > and with better temperature control. > > > The station comes with a 0.8mm > conical tip. I am thinking that a long, fine conical tip, ~0.5mm would be > right for SMD work with multi-pin devices, and probably also a 1.6mm chisel > tip for the occasional need to solder connectors and so forth.
