Charlie, For the 300 cylinder (the largest Airgas sells), it's going to cost about $66/cylinder for the gas (plus delivery charges). They also charge a $99/year lease for the cylinder. Based on those costs, and a low-end N2 generator system that I

We are experiencing widely varying First Pass Yields for selective soldering. Some boards are near 100% while others are less than 50% depending on the pitch and general complexity of the board. Question: If you are running 100 boards through your s

I'm mostly thinking of a Juki or a Pillarhouse, is the Juki decent? The one I'm looking at is relabelled, isn't actually Juki made.

I'm now looking at Juki / Inertec and Ebso. I can get a used Ubso locally which would be very easy to deal with and they are also the dealer for Inertec / Juki. They will be around the same place but the Ebso will be refurbished and come with some wa

I'm looking at some Pillarhouse and Juki machines used. Does anyone have a strong preference on selective soldering brands? What's the life time on machine? Is buying a 10 year old machine a waste of time? What are you doing for nitrogen? I'm current

I have been involved with our Selective Soldering process for 15 years or more. Using ACE Protech machines and now a Juki. Our first ACE machine replaced 4 hand solder operators easily, allowing them to work on other projects. The machine isn't "set

We have only had our Juki about 6 months, but it seems to be a great machine so far. For nitrogen, we have a couple generators. Minimum purity is Tin/Lead = 99.99% RoHS = 99.995% Of course five-9s is better. I do notice a difference in the LEAD F

Hey all, We recently purchased a second hand EBSO SPA-400 selective. Other than the normal pain of a used machine, everything seems to run OK. We ran some preliminary tests, with really bad results. There were tons of shorts and icicles. The only noz

Hello All, We have a small selective solder machine from RPS, a Rhythm SS, purchased used with SN100C in pot. For a couple of years we have used this machine and gotten good results. We have been adding SN995 to the pot as it needed more solder. Then

We have been using SN100C in our RPS Rhythm selective solder machine since we bought it in 2008 with good success. No issues with the solder pot. We are setting the pot temperature to 300C.
