I'm in need of a reflow oven specifically an lead-free one. I need to
reflow at least a 100 boards a week. I google most of the company locally
in CA. I'm thinking of buying one of my vendor in Corona. I made an
appointment tomarrow to go visit and see their ovens. I saw images of it
and the specification is in my needs. http://www.smtmax.com/m2-13.html .
I'm looking at the 5 zone reflow oven it look very descent and the size of
the unit is perfect for my working area. The price is 4K for AE-R330A and
close to 6K for AE-R530C. That price is very reasonable than Manncorp and
other vendor. Any suggestion?

Gosh, you sure profile like a spammer for stmax pretending to be an
electronics repair tech on the 'net.

Black and Decker makes a fine toaster oven that is available immediately
at numerous vendors, and will easily process 100 boards a week.

Not what the OP wants - just a comment: I sometimes cure
silk-screened solder mask in a crude oven in my brother's
printing press next door. The oven is normally used to "reflow"
laser toner on polyester sheets which serve as the master plate
for a small offset machine.

The oven is a simple affair: a flat box with a sliding tray for
the polyester sheet, a heater at the bottom and temperature
control is apparently by a bimetallic strip. It costs the
equivalent of about $50 US. The temperature dial goes up to 300
deg C, and was fairly accurate up to the 140 deg that I measured
in steps with a probe. Might do as a poor man's solder reflow
station. :-)

Are you serious a black and decker toaster oven. I would think this for
consideration if I was an hobbyist. I thought I will be talking to
professional technician or expert in my field in this forum not some low
budget machine ( LOL BLACK & DECKER FOR Lead-free) U serious. I will not
make a production buy using this kind of product. ROFL. I cannot believe
this guy. And no I'm not a spammer I am just looking for someone local who
will not charge me an arm and leg for shipping. I'm just trying to put my 2
cent in this forum to help others out that maybe in my situation.

Five zones is marginal for a RoHS process. We're having problems
(QFNs in particular) with our five-zone oven. The owner is almost
convinced that we need a seven or nine zone oven.
