I agree with cmiller on almost everything except the fluxer. I have not found that to be the slowest part of the process. On a slightly populated board, preheat will be the biggest cycle time killer. On very highly populated boards, time spent at the

Thanks Cmiller & PR, I am warmed to hear others are doing this sort of thing.......like all inovative ideas, you often stumble into them. As far as im aware the ERSA dual Pot is the only machine avaiable on the market that can do this sort of thing
