Tip Polisher

Features & Benefits

A maintenance kit to renew oxidized soldering iron tips!
Great for Lead-Free solder!

When hand soldering with Lead-Free alloys, higher tip temperatures and highly-active fluxes causes oxidation and corrosion, which greatly decreases the life of your soldering iron tip. The Hakko FT-700 tip polisher helps increase the life of your tip by keeping it clean and free from oxidation easily and quickly.

• Fast and easy way to keep your soldering iron tips clean and free from oxidation
• Two spinning polishing brushes (brushes will not damage tip plating)
• Lead-free chemical paste for immediate tip tinning

Immediately after soldering:

1. Insert the tip between the two spinning polishing brushes to clean the tip and remove the oxide, then
2. Dip the tip into the FS-100 lead-free chemical paste to re-tin the tip The fine powder Sn is melted immediately.
3. After applying the Hakko FS-100 to the tip:
   1. Insert the tip between the spinning brushes of the FT-700 to remove the melted chemical paste, then
   2. Tin the tip with the solder you are currently using before placing the iron in the holder. [This prevents the flux residue of the FS-100 from the PWB.]
4. This process will restore new life to your soldering iron tips. Incorporate the procedure above into your soldering routine and you will quickly realize the benefits of maintaining a clean, oxidation-free tip, especially when working with Lead-Free alloys.
