I used to collect mine in a 50 gal drum and take them to the scrap dealer. If he classifies it as brass or copper you can get a good return. Most leads are nickel and tin plated brass. Most dealers stick a magnet on it and tell you its not worth much

Copper wire will become thinner when dipped in tin/lead or lead free solder. The copper is disolved off of the bulk wire. This is one reason rework on solder pots must be restricted. Eventually, after repeated cycles you will have smaller and sma

We have some no sticks, but that is actually a good thing because we have NSD. During process control audits we found that pull strengths to the board dropped off. We build a military application that requires higher bond strenghts. Low pull streg

If you are happy with DEK I would stick with that. I'd look at an ELA or a Horizon model 03...which is their stripped down Horizon version. You can buy a new one of those in the $60K range...used obviously less. The only other vendor I would look a

Hi, Yes, forget Guru, he's a "tosser" who talks "bolloks". Did you ever notice the English have fantastic words for putting people down? Anyway back to the original question. A manual stencil printer might be ok if your not doing anything too tric

No suspense at all. The sky is bluer and the grass is greener all ready (just like the RoHS pictures everyone sticks on their boxes). The air is much cleaner as well; so much so, I've noticed colors I've never seen before. People are nicer and tip
