|
STOP PRESS: If you've decided that you no longer wish to have your 'fingers burnt' using a cheap soldering iron, we seriously recommend you buy GOOT (manufactured by Taiyo Electric Ind. Co. Ltd).
The GOOT RX-711AS (part no. TS1440) shown above features temperature adjustment and display. This soldering station is a precision, Japanese manufactured instrument with excellent temperature stability and anti-static characteristics.
The light weight soldering pencil (41gms w/o cord) has a grounded tip and incorporates a ceramic heater with an integral temperature sensor. The sensor provides precise tip-temperature information to the heater controller which maintains the selected heat setting with a high degree of accuracy. Temperature stability is further enhanced by designing the heater to actually fit within a matching recess in the tip. This allows faster heat transfer and therefore better tip-temperature recovery during heavy soldering. The soldering pencil is fitted with a silicon rubber grip for added handling precision and a 1.2 metre long silicone sheathed cord attaches to the console controller via a 5 pin DIN connector. The silicon cord is incredibly supple.
The controller is a deceptively simple yet sophisticated unit. The control panel includes the 3 digit LED digital temperature display, a rotary temperature control, calibration control and a display changeover switch to display either the desired or actual tip temperature. The panel is secured behind a darkened see-through cover which prevents accidental temperature changes but can be easily accessed when required or it can be locked with the phillips head screw provided.
Specifications: Power requirement: 220-240VAC 50/60Hz. Soldering Temperature: 200°C to 480°C. Temperature hystersis: +/- 3°C. Goes from cold to 350°C in 45 seconds. Soldering pencil: 24VAC 65W. SAA approval QASTE4930.
Gross weight: 2.7Kg. Comes with 0.5mm soldering tip (PX-60RT-B). The 0.2mm tip (PX-60RT-SB) is optional (we have no other tips available), stand with sponge, 17 page instruction manual and 12 months warranty.
The RX70GAS soldering pencil and RX70H replacement heater are now available as spare parts.

Comments from the web:
Those who have bought a Japanese made soldering iron or station before will appreciate the difference in quality, if you haven't bought Japanese before you'll soon come to realise how beatifully made their products are and how beautifully packaged also! Like HAKKO - GOOT means quality but at a reasonable price!
'Hello, I bought a Goot soldering iron (CXR30) on a trip to Japan. It works beautifully! But I can't find anyone in the States offering replacement tips. I'm hoping to buy a few from you, so I enclose an order.' Ted, USA.
1. 'Goot For You! I use the CXR-30 13w soldering pencil for all of my DIY work. It's very light and balanced well, heats up fast, has a higher than average tip temperature (450C) but don't let that be a scary thing because the very fine tip doesn't throw off a lot of heat to adjacent component. It has replaceable tips and is probably the best value I've ever spent on DIY tools.'
2. 'I got a CXR-30 13 watt pencil too. It's fantastic for small work, and my soldier joints have never been neater. The only problem is the low wattage. While it's great for soldering work, when de-soldering I generally reach for my larger iron. Also don't bother reaching for the 13watt iron if you need to soldier anything that sits directly on a ground plane without heat relaxed soldier pads. But for SMD it can't be beat!'
