A "lead-free" reflow oven?

There is no lead in the process. Your point?

My point is that there is no damn difference between a reflow oven for
leaded solder and a reflow oven for RoHS solder. It's advertising
absurdity.

There actually is a difference. Temperature and control. RoHS takes
more
of
both. That's why they have as many as 12 zones (as ours does, though
it's
not
the one I linked). That many zones isn't necessary for a lead solder
process.
The margin of error is almost zero with RoHS.

I think that's utter nonsense.

You're certainly welcome to believe what you want, but you can't have your
own
set of facts. Sorry.

That's why we replaced the oven. Four zones wasn't enough to do RoHS
reliably. The RoHS process really is that tricky to do right.

You should learn something about the subject before spouting such
nonsense.
Your continued defense is telling, though.

Yeah, I guess I don't know much about soldering. Only been making a
living at it for 30 years.

You've been making a living on RoHS soldering for 30 years? Somehow I doubt
that. You obviously know *nothing* about the subject.

I'll spare you the details, since you have a reputation as an arrogant,
ill-mannered know-it-all. I don't have anything to prove to you. RoHS
hasn't been around for 30 years, though, as you well know. See you on
the next thread. Out.
