Well I cranked it up a bit tonight to test, ~330 C, and it did just fine. Even with the larger power connectors. It is behaving like my "Old Weller' (distant cousin to "Old Yeller"). I am about halfway through one of my boards and performance is superior!
I will probably press it up a bit more to 350 for most application. Nice to have control though, especially for more delicate parts.
Tip is staying tinned, even with an occaisional wipe on the damp sponge. Wand is not getting hot to touch near guard (like my cheaper version did). I like that..you can work for hours.
Really appreciate the thread and recommendations. Yet another successful forum story.
Regards,
Lightman
