Rob, I am currently using a BGA-3000 from OK, which works fairly well. I did find that the customer support for the purchase of nozzles and stencils was very poor (overpriced and long lead times). I did find stencils for a good price through Mini

Hi Wade As Steve says - are you sure that the lead is in solution? Particulate lead like solder balls is much easier to remove. The answers are going to depend on total output in gallons, maximum flow required and what has to be removed. If you're
