No issue with the info in the vid, I do however think people do not appreciate how important tip shape tinning and flux is to the whole process. I've had TC wellers and even a hakko at one point and honestly after enough seat time aside from specialised adapters (smd tweezers for example) there has never been a time I couldn't have achieved the same job with my £10 basic iron used correctly. The only thing I will say is an undeniable benefit of the more expensive models is they heat up instantly, I really like the ts80,100,101 for that.

Great comments thank you! I can generally achieve decent results with the less expensive models as well for quick work but for anything where I’m doing a lot of work the Weller just provides more consistent results.

I generally just solder at 350 Celsius, no matter the solder. I'm always switching back and forth between silver and lead solder, and it's more convenient. One thing people don't quite understand is the problem with too low a temperature on a soldering iron. It can actually cause board and component damage, due to the heat being soaked into the parts and board, while you are waiting for things to get hot enough to melt the solder. This is especially a problem where there is a thick ground plane. A good soldering iron will heat up to compensate for the heat drain on many things, but a cheap one will not be able to put out more power to compensate.

@poduck2 - thanks for the great comment! I've been finding as I play around more with temperatures, 575F/301C also works pretty well for both. Lower end of the range for lead free, but I still get decent results. I always worry about component damage or board damage/separation from too much heat. I remember those early days when I was trained in an industrial setting and that sort of stuff was drilled into your head. :-) For me, it's always started with having a great iron and knowing that good flow is about getting the temp right. I think that getting good flow/results frustrates a log of beginners, most of the time it's heat related.

@@takefivewithtom6683there is a bit of feel to learn. I want things to melt fast enough that it doesn't burn the board before the solder melts, but not so fast that it burns the board before the work is done. 300c will work, and will probably give you more work time. It really sucks on ground planes though. Anyway, keep up the videos. People are really concerned about their soldering skills. They treat it like welding, and it's nowhere near that hard, but they need reassurance.

Can cheap $15 soldering irons lose heat when you press their point against two items you’re trying to solder?
@takefivewithtom6683
6 күн бұрын
They can dissipate heat quickly which as @poduck2 points out, can transfer to your board or components and damage them. This means leaving the iron on the work longer to get the job done. I've never found an iron under $40 that I've like which is why I just went with the Weller that I show in most of my vids (Weller WE1010) but there are other lower cost options out there that do a good job of keeping the heat more consistent at the tip.

Tom, thank you. You answered a question I had regarding temperature. When I was younger, I used the straight iron. However, I now own the same Weller we 1010 and wondered. I use it to assemble an automatic breaking system I devised for handicapped people in power chairs. Had a friend that used to drive one and was always hitting walls. I also repair neighbors' electronics when possible.

I have just installed a new neck pickup on my telecaster........2 wires, one minute job turned into a nightmare. Eventually nailed it but set off my carbon monoxide alarms. So know i sit back and watch this video, something i should of done an hour ago before commencing on my frustrating mess. What an idiot i have been today. Clean clean and clean again. Thank you.

I have made so many mistakes as I started on this road to guitar repair, I'm still in the early stages, so I know what you mean. One thing I'm good at is the soldering part, so I figured sharing that expertise might help a lot of people. I have a Gretsch that I'm installing a new neck pickup in and will do a video on that and also share some mistakes I made with another project on that instrument. That's how we learn! Thank you SO MUCH for the watch and the comment!

@@takefivewithtom6683 FYI, watch out if you use D’addario strings. Something has changed and their all treble now. I thought I had a grounding issue. It was both guitars. Then the amp. It was fine. Looked online, the strings, a lot of people had the same issue.
