That was surprise to me as well. Dr.Magura doesn't allow to use feeds, but insists that it is better to work by hand to develop the feel. Seeing him and his work I have no doubts.
I'm sure that I'm no where near the machinist of Dr. Magura, but I do understand what he means about 'feeling' it when one is feeding the stock at the right speed and the cuts are beautifully formed.
A workshop workshop next year would be great.

Whadya mean? I saw an auto feed. It looks to be about 30 years old and maybe not quite 6 feet tall.
Hi all,
Yes, demos on procedures would be useful. That makes it a solid two day event.
A demo on how to solder and what tools to use might be very helpful to our members. The whys too. All the basic skills. We can learn techniques from each other too. A soldering workshop. SMT's are not too bad, so maybe dispel some fear. I wouldn't mind if I make it there.
SY, we could use that drilling demo we made then! 🙂

funny - AR2 and me (D2 ?) just skyped about everything .......... and about SMT (de)soldering ..........
Vlad, I could use a mill like that, with or without Danske autofeed. I understand that brand of autofeed takes a lot of upkeep - the beer bill is espeially punishing... Seriously, I'm probably going to spring for a micro mill when my basement is a little better organized. I'd like one of the bigger ones, but getting it down into the basement is beyond me. I do other stuff besides diy audio, and the ability to do something liike mill an o-ring groove would be pretty helpful.
On another note - I've tried several times to go to the images section at the Burning Amp site, and get nothing but a title. Is everything ready there yet? Maybe a browser issue (I'm using Mozilla)?

Hi Choky,
It's easy to identify a common shortcoming, isn't it. Doing things one of the right way (more than one way) makes for a more positive experience. A sign of one's workmanship. I suspect every tech has their own way of soldering depending on their "feel" for the activity. Desoldering is at least as important to learn.

I works with FF 2.0
I tried it for you with IE6 , too .

well ....... agree ...
I remember several yrs ago ( how many , in fact ?) I didn't understood some guy telling me that he need special tools for desoldering and soldering SMTs of that era .......
now heat-gun stations are dirt cheap,at least if you can find one from far east . (don't tell anyone that I have no any ....... I just don't need them ..... most SMT based modules today are not worth of repairing, at least in consumer stuff area)
piece of cake ..... real techie is used to much bigger problems 😉

only you know that
funny - here stations like these can be found even for 50 Euros , at least one my buddy buy one
used every day in TV repair service ; but - nowadays , for that biz, fast internet connection is more important
edit :
here
- serbian page ,chinese stations 😉
two top ones , from 50 to 80 Euro
Hi Choky,
I may revisit that question later. Last time I saw one used, the guy blew many other small parts out of position. It was pretty funny!
I can normally remove IC's from a PCB without a heat gun, just a soldering iron and hand tools. I have even been forced to reuse some and they worked. Don't know for how long. This does require skill, patience and time. The time thing might make a rework station worth while.

When I remove SMD ICs, I use a standard iron and an Xacto knife. The blade is skinny enough on the knife to be able to slide a bit of it under the IC and provide some upward pressure while I swipe the iron across the leads on one side of the IC package. If I'm not too Neanderthal about it, I can remove the IC intact. This usually works well, except when a manufacturer has gone way overboard with the glue dot used to hold the parts in place during soldering.
Hi wrenchone,
Gee, you're nice about it!
I may use a solder pick (very fine) and bend the leads up. I remove the solder first. I have heard of people using piano wire. I want to try that.
If the chip is stuck well, or the board is lousy and the traces are peeling up easily, I use the cut off wheel on my Dremel tool. This also works well with trouble sided PCB's when you can't get to all the solder. Small holes as an example.
Hey! It's the board or the part many times. The part is bad if you are removing it.
