T-962

Has anyone done any reflow with a T-962/ is there a better option/dollar / what kind of density does it max?

They seem to have some problems what i have read about it.
It uses IR elements which heat up certain components to much and others not enough. It also does not have an convection fan so there are a few cold spots in the oven. The best thing you can do is build yourself one.
Get and mini oven with ~100W /L and mod an high temperature (microwave) fan in it to provide convection. The more expensive option would be an microwave whit convection oven and an oven wattage of ~100w per liter.

Hmmm... toaster oven mod time anyone?

The ovens with convection fans don't come cheap, or they only have switchable top or bottom heaters as far as i've seen   
But it is a HELL lot cheaper than the T962 but you just have to do a few mods left and right (Simple PID controller, the ones you see on industrial equipment)
