====Knockoff JBC station AiXun Soldering Station with original JBC soldering tipsSoldering Tips====Fix me: Photos This Chinese soldering station is compatible with JBC soldering tips (C245) and textis a great station for its lowish price of around 150 bucks. The station comes with three soldering tips that should be replaced with original JBC wave-soldering tips like the C245965 (small spoon) or the C245938 (big spoon) for general purpose soldering tasks.
[[File:SolderingStation.JPG|none|thumb|AiXun Soldering Station with JBC Soldering Tips]] The "small spoon" is by far the most used tip used on my bench as it turns almost every soldering task into a "low/no-skill" job provided copious amounts of flux is used and the board was manufactured with solder mask. The shape of this tip prevents the active region to oxidize by always keeping some solder on it and thus keeping oxygen away from the metal surface of the tip.[[File:SmallSpoon.JPG|none|thumb|Original JBC Soldering Cartridge C245965 (small spoon)]] The "big spoon" is for all other tasks which need a little bit more contact area than the small spoon can provide.[[File:BigSpoon.JPG|none|thumb|Original JBC Soldering Cartridge C245938 (big spoon)]] ====Weller Soldering StationPU81====Fix meA basic soldering station for general purpose soldering tasks. Unfortunately there are no wave-soldering tips available for this type of iron.[[File: Photos and textWeller.JPG|none|thumb|Weller PU 81 Soldering Station]]
