Default solder temperature on rework station


"RichK" wrote in message
. net...

I am just starting to play with a rework station that has both an iron and
a hot air handle. I am starting with basic 60/40 solder and need a
starting point for the temperatures to set. Should I use the same temps
for the iron as the air? Where should I start for mounting, removing or
repairing both thru-hole and SMD devices?


Try melting some solder with it.
