New Soldering System

Post by metcalman »

Has anyone tried the new MX-5200 from Metcal? It is the first metcal that has both tools hot at the same time.

Might be useful for production use but I don't see a need for the hobbiest.

Interesting, perhaps on a dual in line package? OR in a school setting with 2 students using the same power supply.

For the DIP they have tips for that (and if you have one iron in each hand what do you hold the chip with?) I would not consider school or hackerspace use hobbiest by which I meant one user.
