Question:	Can I get a fine point tip for the 80-watt station to do fine electronics work
Answer:	this welding tool will take 15 seconds to heat up
Question:	Can i use this for circuit boards? Is it stained glass only
Answer:	Sorry cant be used for fixing Metal Jewelry. Most soldering irons or guns are used for soldering electrical wires together, which requires less heat. The Max temperature of our solder iron toll is 842 Fahrenheit, dont get hot eought to melt large jewelry metals.
Question:	What is the temp range? I want to melt Alumaloy rods that melts at
Answer:	My hubby bought it but honestly it’s a bit small- better for a woman

Answer:	Not sure...cause i have a hakko 936..but it should.
Question:	What temp for stained glass, copper foil
Answer:	A good chisel tip is perfect for through hole work. However, they can sometimes be too large for smaller component surface mount (SMT) work. I use the curved tips mainly for SMT work. However, they can work for through-hole as well with a little practice. Hope this helps. - Trenton

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between this iron and the weller w100p-3? looked at the specs for both and can't seem to find any difference except for price
Answer:	Hi Carolyn S.,The W100PG has a 2-wire grounding and the W100P3 has a 3-wire grounding.
Question:	Is this compatible with the inland mini phaser
Answer:	No. This temp controller documentation says: "Use with any non tip-controlled irons". W100PG is a tip controlled iron @ 700F. 600F and 800F tips are also available. The phaser is not necessary....use thedifferent tips for more control. Liz Renee, Glass Artist and Director of Nartique Glass, Casselberry, FL
Question:	How do i change the tip on this iron
Answer:	Make sure the iron is off and unplugged first of all. The end where the soldering tip is held unscrews and you change the tip that way
Question:	What power source does this soldering iron use? 110volts or 220volts
Answer:	110: this is a good soldering iron, is doing the job for me just beginning stained glass projects, but has no temperature control on it. My next one will have one. Have fun with your craft!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this stand hold XLR cable ends for repair or is the holding clips too small
Answer:	Yes they can as these bulbs are standard incandescent, so polarity is not an issue. That said I would wire in parallel and not series so that if one burns out you don't loss the whole light, just the bulb.
Question:	Can it be handheld
Answer:	If a 12v supply, then no. Otherwise, for higher voltages, you will need appropriate dropping resistors of adequate power. As with any incandescent bulb, brightness will be affected by voltage, and so will bulb life. I haven't tried on lower voltages, but I would think anything down to 9v should work satisfactorily.
Question:	Just to be clear does this unit comes with a USA standard electrical outlet plug
Answer:	Watched a YouTube video by a guy with more than a hundred lights on his indoor G scale layout. I followed his recommendation and purchased a 12volt 6 amp transformer for $16. It’s a type used for charging things. 6 amps will light 72 bulbs.
Question:	US power adapter included
Answer:	As long as it is a 12v power supply,the bulb will work well.
