Weller W60P3

[parttimebill]

Did I just waste some money??? all the talk about 60 watt irons to recap, and I sent off to all-spec.com and bought a W60P3 Weller three-wire ... which I discover came with a 1/16" 700deg tip... which sounded too hot.. when I look for the lower temp tips (600deg lowest) they are nowhere to be found... did I screw up or can I get in and out with 700deg and not destroy anything... I've dont a lot of soldering before - buss bars to SMD, but need some advice... billl

If it is F not C, then you are actually a little cold. Most stations go to 850 F. How much did you pay?

true enough... it's F... it's supposed to regulate temp... gonna use Pb/Sn with it... there is tip for it that goes to 800F... probably should pick one up huh?? paid 60 something $ for it...billl
