CK You keep forgetting to factor in time. The "lots of juice" is say 3 times as much but it's for 1/5 as long. And you are wrong about the AC part as well. Do you also believe that warm water freezes faster than cold water? I saw that presented on T

it'll be cheaper if you'll let your wave machine up all night and let it in its idle temp (supposed to be 200��C) simply because it will need less power from idle temp up to operational temp compared to from 0�C-operational temp. Temperature Sensors

Crashoveride, That idea is similar to the analogy I came up with, with regards to a programmable thermostat and home air conditioning. (ie leave your point within a few degrees of desired point) STEPPHEN - aka, Man-of-the-World, all-knowing, Super

Well put, MfgEng! Wave Solder did get lots of respect back in the day. It's a very scientifically-based process requiring knowledge of Thermodynamics, Physics, Chemistry, and Metallurgy, but at the same time, it's a very touchy-feely art form! At

Verbal history says it was the wave. Written history says it was a glue gun plugged into 24hr power and left on. Destroyed the top floor of the then 3 year old factory. "PLANT'S on fire" -good one!! I thought I paid good money to keep that vid out of

Chunks, So in layman�s terms you are saying shut the darn thing off, if you�re not using it? And by the way your explanation brings up some memories; I once had a boss that spoke to me the same way. The results are still visible, I shake my head to
