User questions & answers
Question: | Is there a conversion table to show the temperature for each dial setting |
Answer: | This rheostat has a very narrow range because it's designed especially for soldering stained glass projects. When it is set on high, that's the maximum output for your iron. The temperature of your iron is controlled by the tip (aka known as the heater). This can not tell you what the temperature is (on the dial) because the temperature is not predictable from iron to iron or more specifically, tip to tip. Also, please note that this does not increase your household current, it can only decrease the current supplied to your iron. Hope this helps. |
Question: | Will this work with a wood burner for lowering the temp |
Answer: | It may depend on the burner. I use it with 2 soldering irons. I have an adjustable 60w and a non-adjustable 100W. With the 60W, I just set the iron at max, then use the dial on this rheostat to adjust it. I use it with these: Anbes 60w: https://www.amazon.com/ANBES-Soldering-Iron-Kit-Electronics/dp/B06XZ31W3M Choice 100w: https://www.amazon.com/Choice-CH-IRON-100W-soldering/dp/B00XK5RXKC I use both for electronics soldering for Radio Control vehicles. The battery packs use AWG10 wire and the lipo packs themselves use a high temp solder on wide tabs. The 60w won't touch the lipo tabs, but it works fine for 12AWG on up. The 100W with the dial at 7 works great for AWG10 and at 8 to take apart large lipo packs. |
Question: | Is this strong enough to control a hot plate |
Answer: | Find out what your watts are for your hot plate then compair. |
Question: | Will this lower the temperature on your soldering iron so it is not so hot |
Answer: | As far as I know, yes. You can set the temp on the rheostat. I usually set it somewhere between 5 and 6. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the tip on the exchangeable with other tips |
Answer: | It is not interchangeable with my old Weller tips. Can't speak to other models of irons |
Question: | Can I buy other tips for this iron |
Answer: | I do not know. You can file and shape the standard tip. Check with the manufacture for options. |
Question: | are there larger tips available for purchase, doing stained glass. What size would i need for this iron |
Answer: | I have no idea where or if you can buy larger tips for this iron. I recently bought it for my stained glass work and I love it! It works well with the tip that comes with it. |
