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,

Because you haven't got any. You're simply wrong and are now in too deep to
admit it.

since you have a reputation as an arrogant,

You have a reputation of an idiot. I happen to be right.

ill-mannered know-it-all.

I happen to be right. You're completely clueless if you don't think there is
a difference between RoHS and lead processes. Ovens matter!

I don't have anything to prove to you.

You misspelled "can't".

RoHS
hasn't been around for 30 years, though, as you well know.

Then why did you indicate that you had 30 years of relevant experience?
Because you're talking through you ass. Not hard, since that's where your
head is.

See you on the next thread. Out.

Don't run away mad. Next time talk about something you have at least a
passing knowledge of.
