is that a standard 13 pin din socket I wonder? I have a 951 and really don't want to fork out more so if it is I might just swap the port for female 13 pin din
@@bbishoppcm It looks small and pointy so wont make great contact with pads or leads. Since its a good iron you can get away with it I guess. But it looked like you had two tips, couldn't tell what the difference was.
I actually prefer this tip size - it suits the needs of nearly every type of soldering task I encounter. The cartridge-type handpiece recovers very quickly compared to the 888D, so even at 600degrees, it works quite well.

Totally didn't know the whole shaft was removable, I always thought the tip was just yeah know the tip at the ed of the iron
Yeah dont think that tip is ideal for what you are trying to do.
How so? I just blasted through an entire radio chassis without issue

@@bbishoppcm fair enough, if it works for you thats good.
What tip size do you recommend? I assume you do similar thru-hole work?
