[HBQRP] Plastic welder.. for SMT? Opinions?

[Arnie Grubbs]

Hi Group,


Was down at Harbor Freight today, and purchased a few little items, but
didn't see this in the paper flyer until I got home.  It might be something I'd like to try if no one sees any real problems with using it
for SMT.

Anyone want to hazard a guess if this would be workable for SMT stuff?
The ad' says that it is temperature adjustable.  I dunno if it would be
to much air flow, but I would suspect that if it is, that it could be modified to reduce the CFM..

Here's the link..

I might have to check into one of these units! :)

Oh, they also have one that does not have the air supply, you provide your own compressed air...

Its a little cheaper, but would not be anywhere near as portable..
