Title: 888 station and 651
Post by: daniel123 on April 26, 2016, 09:38:46 pm
Should I purchase the fx651 as a second station or should I get a jcb. I am asking because Id like someone woth personal experience with both of these stations any nano soldering jcb station would work. I just need suggestions. Thanks Daniel

Why do you need 2 soldering stations, though? JBC is wildly expensive compared to the FX-888D and the money could be used for other things...  :o

You're willing to spend JBC money on a soldering station, but expect people to give you so much other equipment and parts?

ITs ab actual question. I would just like a recommendation or if you know any reviews of the two or you have any personal experience with these stations. I probably won't buy it but I'm doing my research to see when i do buy it which one to get.
