Where can I buy a JBC Tip for installing heat set inserts
« on: August 14, 2024, 05:26:53 pm »
Good day gentlemen,

I'm trying to find a set of heat set insert tips for my JBC soldering station.   Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I'd like to use them with a T-245 handle on a CD-1BQE station, but I'd buy a different handle if necessary.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, I uploaded a picture of tips for this application but designed to fit hakko irons. 

Yes, I did search google, jbc website, and this website with no luck.  Hopefully I'm just missing the obvious.

Thanks in advance!

I would say better off buying some cheap iron for plastics use. No point in using the JBC.
I don't see anything on aliexpress. But if you know someone with a lathe this is not so hard to make.

I already have some tips for a hakko iron I used before I bought the fancy JBC.   I'm hoping to get the second iron off my bench, as space is at a premium.  My workspace is only 100 ft² (9 m²).  JBC has hundreds of specialty tips available, and I own quite a few, but nothing for inserts specifically.

this, no?

Not quite, I think those are for melting plastic stakes that were formed into thermoplastic parts.

Actually, on further inspection, they might be workable.  There are stake tips in a few sizes and with the chamfered shoulders I might be able to make it work.  I'll order a few and see how they do.  Thanks!

I also use these brass tips for heatset inserts that sell on ebay and amazon for about 10$ a set and are compatible with Hakko 900M. Specifically for that I got a cheap soldering iron with no external station. It plugs directly into AC mains and can be left in a drawer when not needed. Temperature might not be that accurate but it's more than good enough and the M3 tip has been on for a year or so. No need to use the JBC for that.
