Help with choosing solder

[T.S.Davis]

.... and a lathe too.

How is it that I own no lathe and no mill? Ridiculous.

It's just a Taig,lol all manual by hand. Still gets the job done. I also have a tiny mill attachment. :)

I wouldn't trust it to take a millimeter off a Tenshock motor case. I've taken the fins off a Neu motor with it and that was kinda scary.

I stay away from lead free solder, I prefer 60/40 or 63/37 as leaded solder flows much better.

Come and get me coppers...

Well look at the tip I picked up today, haven’t even finished my coffee. Another use for my Unimat lathe.
Thanks for that one Ray.

Terry if you don’t have a lathe look up a Unimat. Small affordable and versatile for small stuff.

COVID purchases for the shop... I'm no machinist, but they're incredibly useful.

You cant go wrong with the Sherlines for small stuff, very under rated machines for what they can do. much better & more capable than the old Unimats in my opinion. I have owned both Unimat & Sherline, but would choose my Sherline lathe any day over the Unimat.
