warning - not all stainless steels are non-magnetic! Quite a few alloys are magnetic, some as highly magnetic as ordinary steel. One quick test is to demagnetize the jaws. If you can find one of the old-style Weller soldering guns with the copper

The 4796 always has at least one program loaded in memory. The 4796 talks to the world over a serial port, so you will need some version of UCT. I used windows NT machines and the code worked fine. The component database is standalone, in binary,

To get beyond the 36,000 cph threshhold the turret manufacturers had to focus on ways to get the boards in and out of the machine faster. This also included loading more boards inside the worknest. The end result in Fuji's case (CP-643), was a table
