The Hakko FT-700 Tip Polisher is the ideal
maintenance kit to renew oxidized soldering iron tips, especially
when soldering with Lead-Free alloys.
Item #: FT700-05
TIP POLISHER
A great maintenance kit to renew oxidized soldering iron tips!
Great for Lead-Free solder!
When hand soldering with Lead-Free alloys, higher
tip temperatures and highly-active fluxes causes oxidation and
corrosion, which greatly decreases the life of your soldering iron
tip. The Hakko FT-700 tip polisher helps increase the life of your
tip by keeping it clean and free from oxidation easily and quickly.
FAST and EASY way to keep your soldering iron tips clean and free
from oxidation two spinning polishing brushes (brushes will not
damage tip plating) lead-free chemical paste for immediate tip
tinning
Immediately after soldering:
(1) insert the tip between the two spinning polishing brushes to clean the tip
and remove the oxide, then
(2) dip the tip into the FS-100 lead-free chemical paste to re-tin the tip The
fine powder Sn is melted immediately.
After applying the Hakko FS-100 to the tip:
(3) insert the tip between the spinning brushes of the FT-700 to remove the
melted chemical paste, then
(4) tin the tip with the solder you are currently using before placing the iron
in the holder. (This prevents the flux residue of the FS-100 from the PWB.)
This process will restore new life to your soldering iron tips. Incorporate
the procedure above into your soldering routine and you will quickly realize the
benefits of maintaining a clean, oxidation-free tip, especially when working
with Lead-Free alloys.
