Special market The tool is constantly updated. Manufacturers offer more and more new models with improved features and an expanded scope. Some tools are revised and redone. For example, everyone knows the soldering iron, which is powered by an electric network. But few people know that he can now be replaced with a Dremel gas soldering iron . The country of production is Taiwan.
Soldering Iron Features
A Dremel soldering iron is a gas burner connected to a cylinder. It is structurally made in such a way that the balloon is a soldering iron handle. The gas used is butane, similar to the gas in lighters.
It is used for various purposes: welding, sealing, burning, melting, paint removal, heat shrinkage. This is due to the presence of various nozzles. Depending on the model, their set may vary. There is also an arson system with adjustable flame power. It works thanks to the piezoelectric element. One of the most popular models is the Dremel Versatip 2000-6 soldering iron. Consider these soldering irons in more detail.
The Dremel gas soldering iron has the following features:
- The heating temperature without nozzles reaches 1.2 thousand degrees, with nozzles - 550 degrees, with a hairdryer - 680 degrees.
- The maximum nozzle temperature is reached in just 25-30 seconds.
- The volume of the balloon is 17 ml.
- One cylinder is enough for burning a soldering iron for half an hour.
- The mass of the tool without gas is a little over a hundred grams.
When working with the tool, care and safety must be observed. There is a possibility of burns during operation. Therefore, wear protective clothing. In this case, the fire must be kept at a safe distance from itself.
Before starting work, the workpiece must be fixed. It can not be held in the hand.
Nozzles can only be changed after the tool has completely cooled. A clogged nozzle must be cleaned in a timely manner. This will extend its lifespan.
Equipment
The following items are included with the gas soldering iron:
- Directly the soldering iron itself.
- A set of nozzles of six pieces (for soldering, cutting, burning, and so on).
- Two cases for storing heated nozzles.
- Napkin for cleaning the soldering iron.
- Keys for changing nozzles (two pieces).
- Cap for protection.
- Catalyst for flameless combustion.
There is also an understandable instruction manual with drawings that helps you get started with the tool.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the gas bottle itself is not included in the kit. It must be purchased separately.
Tool functionality
The capabilities of the soldering iron are due to the presence of various nozzles. As mentioned earlier, there are six of them as standard. Each of them allows you to perform separate operations.
For normal soldering, a thin tip tip is used.
A wide nozzle allows you to heat (solder) a large surface.
There is a hairdryer for firing wood and surfaces coated with paints and varnishes.
Two types of knives will allow you to cut the necessary materials (plastic, fabric and others).
The reflector allows crimping cambric.
Hot air flowing through a small nozzle serves to burn patterns on a tree.
Gas Soldering Iron Dremel Versatip
This is a wireless model of the instrument, which comes with six nozzles. It fully meets the requirements of the working process, as it has a temperature controller. Of the additional features there is also a child lock.
The length of the soldering iron is twenty centimeters. Weight - a little over a hundred grams. The volume of the gas cylinder is 17 ml. This amount of gas is sufficient for continuous burning of the fire for one hour. Butane or a mixture of butane and propane is suitable as a working fluid.
The package includes the following parts: box, soldering iron, solder, nozzle for soldering, cutting knife, straight knife, other interchangeable nozzles, reflector.
The gas soldering iron Dremel 2000 Versatip allows you to perform the following tasks:
- Burning out.
- Soldering.
- Hot fix.
- Cutting materials and other functions.
It is not necessary to wait until the tool warms up. Work takes place with open flame at a temperature of one thousand two hundred degrees. Hot air is supplied preheated to six hundred and eighty degrees. The temperature of the nozzles is five hundred and fifty degrees. And they cool down in seventeen minutes. To cool the protective nozzles, a little less time is needed - fifteen minutes.
Dremel soldering iron is a universal wireless tool that allows you to replace several tools at once.
