I'd describe it as an oblique conical frustum.. like the one you describe but with a rounded tip and flat on only one side. I don't have one of these on my bench but I tried drag soldering with a similar one and I can't get it to work as well. When I left a job about ten years ago, I poured the contents of my desk drawer into a cardboard box and didn't give it much thought. I went through it later and found about a dozen metcal tips in there that my predecessor had left behind, some in original packaging. A year or so later, that turned out to be one of the factors in buying my MX500. I see a lot of metcal stuff for sale on eBay.. is it generally pretty safe?

You got it, in one! ;-) -- Lead free solder is Belgium's version of 'Hold my beer and watch this!' |
