Soldering stations - which one?
#10

(19th-Dec-25, 04:05 PM)Top Down Wrote:  Well, made me look at the one I have. Turns out it's an Antex CS18 240v with a 2.5mm chisel tip.

The Annex CS18 is a decent iron for precision circuit board work, and at 18W it should be fine for your light duty soldering needs (tinning/soldering lead wires)

If you do ever get the urge to do any scratcbuilt chassis work, you will definitely need something "beefier"

Cheers

PS at only 18W it will serve you well to keep the tip clean and tinned, and use 60/40 (low melting point) rosin core solder.
