Hello all :) !
I'm still working on populating my bench, and consider now that a reflow oven shall be a good new feature (so e.g. I can work on Ic's which are not available in DIP packages). Of course, if I search the web for an afordable desktop reflow oven... I find exclusively the T-962 model (and variants).
I am well aware of the design flaws and issues with this oven, but I also found many information on how to greatly improve it : kapton tape, cold junction compensation, earth connection, firmware update, and even the fan...
I wonder if some of you tried to buy one and make all of these improvements, and if so if you were able to solder properly using it?
I am clearly not comfortable in using a toaster oven and "upgrade it" to a reflow oven, so I guess I'm stuck with this option if I don't want to invest a factory-size budget.
