Rotor Winding Tooling

How many Watts is that soldering iron? My old iron from 89 is only 15W and a bit limited for use on the bike harness, no good for those wires on the rotor, but great for PCB work. Combined with an air gun it is fab for desoldering ICs, just blasted the melted solder off but aim at the floor or out the door because the fine solder spray goes everywhere.

Recently I bought a new 80W iron with adjustable temperature. 7 Weeks ago I successfully used it to remove its first wart. Set it to 200 Celsius, gently tapped the wart until the nerves ceased to register pain, then held it on for 2x 4 seconds. It blistered and died. I had tried every medicated approach but none worked. Just have a slight red patch remaining now.

 

Is that from the book of do-it-yourself surgery entitled Suture Self ?
And, generally, for electronic work, a 30 - 40 watt iron is sufficient.

 

This may qualify as the greatest thread segue of all time!

 

59Tebo, the 80W is max output. If I set the controller to 300 Celsius then the element only fires up enough to maintain temperature. I checked the temperature control and it consistently gives the tip temp as within 10 - 15 Celsius.

Comes with a range of tips.

 

Replace the wires, or don't, but it looks like a perfectly adequate tool to me. For the "heavy" stuff, I've got a Weller from the '70's, and it still works every time I pull the trigger. Even the "headlights" work! As long as I can get replacement tips, (I just put a new one on not that long ago, so it oughta last me for years), I'll keep it. It heats up fast, and it's great for auto/cycle/trailer wiring...

 

And regularly tighten the tip holding nuts.

 

Hi Jim, I have sent you a PM over on the 1100F forum about winding a rotor for me..Thanks

 

It will be in your message box..not on the thread. Just need to send you the rotor and looking for an address..Thanks Jim.

 

Sorry you are having trouble with the log in. The code letters need to be capitalized when you enter them. Maybe that is the problem?
I have read the terms and agree so I will mail it out tomorrow Jim. I left you another message on the other forum with my address and phone number.
The rotor is an Yamaha XJ 650. They mount right up on the CB900F engine and are lighter in weight. The details on the rotor are in my other message and I got them from the XJ forum. Thanks Jim..give a call or email with any questions.

Good Old Hogan's Heroes. I loved that Gonkulator Episode and how it fooled the Germans. I remember watching it mid to late 60s on a friends portable TV with a 6" screen. It was the thing to watch on Saturday night TV in NZ. I think it was replaced by Love American Style.

 

Used machinisd friend for remove mass from ring on back of rodor on '83 cb750sc Nighdhawk and removed around a pound of spinning mass! Helped a bunch.. Rode once w/no rodor and WOW big acceleradion, quick revs........Burnoud for 80 feed!
