Wanted: Solder Reflow Oven/Toaster Machine

[gammzy98]

Hello everyone I know this may be a long shot but I am looking for a solder reflow oven/toaster/machine. It can be homemade, as long as it works good. I am from the USA. If anyone has one that is willing to part with please let me know by replying or sending me a private message. Thank you!

There are plenty of kits out there, and done prebuilt options are also available.

Watch out for the cheap Chinese reflow ovens. They're horrible.

Try googling for controleo.

Thanks for the reply! I did come across controleo and had someone else suggest that to me. Has anyone you know used that? I heard its very good and capable of reflowing boards, which might be exactly what I am looking for.

It's what I use

Alright cool! Have you ever had any problems getting everything soldered on a board you would put in? Or everything is reflowed evenly? Thanks again.

My oven is very well insulated, has some very powerful additional elements and has a fan to move the hot air around.

I have no problems in maintaining a very good profile everywhere in the oven. The only exception is in the cool down part of the cycle.

Another colleague of mine has a similar controller used for "public electronics" (we have up to 40 people populating surface mount boards one night a month). His oven doesn't follow the profile so well (it is under powered) but there is rarely a problem. If there is, it is far more common for it to be operator error than a problem in the reflow process.

I got a Chinese one, it is OK, not so good. Good ones are too expensive! Check ebay, many for sale.
