tip solder fume extraction

[lacek]

Hi,
I want to have solder fume extraction through a hose supplemented by the tip fume extraction for a single desk. One option is JBC fume extraction which allows to have two in a single unit, but it is about 2k EUR. Weller say MG 130 is half that, but it does not have a dedicated input for the tip fume extractor (the official way to have tip extraction is to buy WFE2P, but it costs another 900EUR). Is it possible to mount somehow Weller tip fume extractor to the large fume extractor unit (I envision buying reduction from 60mm pipe to the one used in tip extractor in a hydraulic shop). Would this fly?

Take a look at the Aoyue 933. It's made for tip type fume extraction and it's inexpensive.

There's even a thread where another member used one of these with his JBC station (JBC fume extraction).

I have the Hakko FA430. Its not cheap but damn it works so well. If you have the budget for it i would highly recomend it. Just dont get those shitty desktop fans with carbon filters. They dont do anything accept thin out the smoke with more air.

The filter in that thing is a complete joke compared to a real unit like Weller WFE2P (which I what I use).

I don't doubt that in the slightest. But what you're using is quite expensive, and I suspect well out of the OP's budget.

It'd actually be less expensive to get a decent fume extraction unit (non tip based unit), and use it as intended IMHO (i.e. the QUICK6101A1 is reasonably priced).
