Thats pretty impressive work! I've never heard of a heat gun like that, very interesting heat source for the soldering.
I like that a lot Mike. Question, is the oil flow to the mains "around" the bearings? or "Through" the bearings?Dave
Great progress + result Mike I'm sorry for feeling that there's a flange 'missing' in the right side of the picture - but I think you would have mentioned it, if that is the case .... The whole bit of 'Machine assembled PCB's' in our production is done with Reflow and we have one for prototyping too + a 'ReWork Station' - but I haven't used a 'Normal' HeatGun for soldering yet .... If it was the Full Size Merchedes - I wouldn't have dreamed of using soft-solder - but I'm guessing that in the Model, it will never be hot enough for problems ....Per
Thats pretty impressive work! I've never heard of a heat gun like that, very interesting heat source for the soldering. The pipework looks a little like a tuba for an octopus, or a steampunk bagpipe!

He is happily learning to play it and wants to be become a one man 'Oompah Band'.Cheers Mike
