Patrick, you're right. I've only dealt with 2 different flavors of Alpha alcohol-based flux. I've always thought that the convection causes the activator to evaporate more rapidly, but this is probably just the case with older formulations. Again,

I found some machine manufacturers put convection nozzles in line parallel with each other instead of staggering them so you get a nice parallel line up the board where there is no flux be it no residue alcohol or VOC Free. The best I could find was

I just got a scope off of Ebay from Precision World. There have been some kinks, but, overall, it was a good experience. The scope I picked up actually zoomed a little too much for our needs (I need to use it for assembly, as well as inspection).

I only build my own products, so it has to meet my needs for QA only. I am doing some 20 mil lead pitch (0.5mm) and will soon be doing a 0.4 mm pitch part. I have more magnification on my microscopes (40X) but almost never need to go that high. If
