Can anyone recomend tools for cleaning & adjusting of a lead free solder pot? I know it's not recomended to use the standard stainless tools. I was told by an FSE to use wood (kitchen) tools. Thanks

Yeah, made from Durostone or Delmat would be perfect. Try buying some pieces and have them machined into tools or DIY. This is the same material that solder pallets are made from. http://www.boedeker.com/durost_p.htm http://www.polymerplastics.com/

Back in the day, we had a small solder pot used for dipping ICs that were freshly removed from defective boards. What tool did we use to clean the dross? A small piece of card board. After the card board got too toasted, we'd grab a new piece of c

Seems we both have something in common. My company used to issue each person a toolbox with solder pumps, cutters, pliers and the good stuff. But we can never keep them in the boxes. They tend to walk away after a few uses. There's nothing you can do

Thanks for the comments so far. The smallest nozzle I've tried is a 4mm, which is what Pillarhouse used on this board to provide a sample. I tried this but wasn't as good as the 6mm. I've soldered the same connectors on a different board using a 10mm

The Optimizer can be run through your wave like a regular board. It measures temps, times and parallelism of your waves in relationship to your board (pot to conveyor). Run the Optimizer till you get you temps, times and are parallel to your waves.

Hello Michael & All, Thanks for the feedback. Months ago we receive a number of reject concerning one of the 0805 & 0603 chip capacitor mising (with joint remain on pad)and seriously solder joint fracture. From there I had do some investigation

I agree with RealChunks. The application of any of these "wave solder process control tools" is dependant on how the shop is run. At some shops, PM is inconsistent and slacked off on. At other shops, there is no technical expertise at the operator
