New E guy

One quick question..I mounted the mmm2200 with the associated mount,but it looks to me like its sitting straight up on the chassis...Should i use that funky 2 sided tape under it? Or what do you guys use??..I searched really couldn't find an answer...

Oh JERRY2 I went w/the 936 It was right in the budget!!!..Thanks for the heads up guys....

Good to hear. I am sure that you will be pleased once you get it setup and start using it for the first time. Please share your thoughts once you have gotten to use it. I also ordered a spare tip for the iron, but these tips are so heavy duty and tough that I think it will be quite some time before I ever get to use it. Great buy for the price.

I find that it is great fun once you get the procedure figured out. In most cases the best way is to flux and tin both the wires, and the object they are being soldered to using enough heat to make sure things fuse properly. Once everything is tinned, then it is pretty easy to fuse them altogehter. For small items I use one of those mag based soldering jigs to hold everything in place and it has a magnifying glass to help see what you are doing. This way you have both hands free to do the actual soldering. The Hakko soldering rigs heat up pretty fast also, which saves you time when you get in a hurry. Like anything you will get better with time and practice. Good luck with your new toy/tool.

That is why I tried steering you away from the associated conversion on the first page of this thread
