Hey, first of all; thanks for sharing your insights, additionally the live repair videos you've put up are great to watch. I am wondering how you approach work on boards that use unleaded solder; do you use separate tips or remove the unleaded and then redo the joint with leaded? I've only limited experience but after running into some issues touching up/doing repair attempts on leadfree boards started keeping some separate tips and such trying to eliminate that variable from the list of possible causes... I ask because I hope to upgrade my somewhat awful atten station to a jbc one in the near future but considering the price of the jbc tips I'm not sure if it makes sense to continue the pb/no pb distinction there. Greetings from a fellow synthforum member and hope you find the time to put out more videos at some point :-)
Great Stuff. It is really great you explained what RTS (Reduced Tin Surface) means. I wish I ordered that C245-102 tip. It makes a lot of sense. I would never figured that out myself. I ordered the C245-906 and -907 (1.2mm and 2.2mm). Will see how that goes. I would like to create analog preamps for my son his Music studio. For me it is a hoppy, in my early days I did a lot of service repairs and troubleshooting on Medical equipment (with a mix of analog and digital gear).
@@HumanErrorSynthRepair Received today the JBC iron station. So far I like the C245-906 the most for standard size components like OPAMP and resistors. -907 I think is more for bigger wire soldering. What is a bit disappointed is, that there is only sleep mode, but no hibernate (in case you forgot to turn off the Station). Or is there something I do wrong?
@@HumanErrorSynthRepair nice . I do the same job . I make my own t 12 soldering iron but in the summer I buy the jbc CD-2BQE whith the extension module .
Very helpful video about JBC tips👍

Thanks, that sounds like a nice project.

@@TheVorst "there is only sleep mode, but no hibernate" Mine does both. Try looking in the settings.
Why don't use c115 c210 for small smd instead of c245-chisel?
Waar heb je die tips gekocht? bedankt voor het delen van jouw video met ons
Er zijn tal van aanbieders, als je de productnummers opzoekt vind je vast wel wat in de buurt.
I hope you are back for a long time .
Thanks, me too !
@@HumanErrorSynthRepair what happened whith you în this time
Doing a lot of repairs :)

@@andreiciora2765 Best of luck! That's a great tool.
Maybe it will be the time for you to change the grip on the handle .
