what temperature does this soldering gun reach?

I have no idea what temperature it reaches. What i can tell you is that it has no trouble rapidly soldering even a bundle of several 12 gauge wires. This gun really rocks.

The thermostat will go up to 850 degrees F. I normally keep it around 675F for casting. Be careful as Zinc will melt at 780 degrees F. Zinc is really bad for casting bullets!

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

I've had issue with it getting hot enough. I just got some other tips to try to see if they will work better. I know a soldering gun does get hotter.

I think there is a factory recommended "duty cycle" for solder guns. I don't know of any manufacturer who will advise long term heavy usage. It will eventually burn out. They can generate a tremendous amount of dangerous heat internally.

Unfortunately, i'm currently not at work so I can't tell you the exact temperature. The 1000 degree temp spec. is probably close to the mark. This gun get's incredibly hot! If you need an exact temp., please let me know.

It is heat resistant up to 600 degrees so it depends on how hot your embossing gun is.

Is your tip fully connected? Is there any solder on the tip? Have you turned up the temp and soldered a joint? Is your heat gun accurate? Does the light blink or stay lite?

Maximilian, I still have limited experience but the few soldering jobs I've done, the display has stayed at the set temp. There are audible alarms (beeps) to indicate temp status. The composite tips have a sensor integrated. If you place the handle in the cradle the unit will sleep mode it but the set temp returns very rapidly when you remove it. You can also set temperature offsets, this unit is very versatile and has helped me to do better soldering given my skill level. The unit isn't cheap but I'm delighted with it. Money well spent. You can get more info at Hakko USA website and download the instruction pages. Good luck!

It works perfect for lighting pellets/wood chips for my smoker. I never measured what temp it reaches. Sorry.

I'm sure you could..but you'd be heating a very large area..I would use a solder gun to melt old solder..which is typically 700 to 750 degrees..

Did you try and replace the heating element with the spare one that comes with the set? At 217 degrees, that's not even close to melting solder. I know my station has to be set about 100 degrees higher than where I normally would set it, which tells me that the thermostat isn't very accurate, but other than that I've used mine to build hundreds of circuit boards at home and actually prefer my solder station over the ones I use at work. If the 2nd heating element doesn't work, I would contact the seller.

I would say the tip is way to big for the small spots you would be trying to melt. Also i don't know it the heat range is high enough for even low temp solder. I use it to apply to shrink wrap to solder wires

I have just gone through the entire manual and can not find anything that says weather it is at 35 or 21 degrees.... sorry! But, the nails I use in the gun are as follows and are the cheapest in the hardware store (BUNNINGS) where I am in Australia. "DUO-FAST" STRIP NAILS S3.1 x 75 plastic collated. Box of 3000. Reorder code D30500. I have checked on the nail box as well and there is nothing on there either as to the degrees they are set at. I hope this helps... :)

I like the answer to a similar question. Start at 3 o'clock and adjust it as necessary. Much depends on the size of the element you are soldering, and the diameter of the solder.

I guess any temp. if you take off the rubber handle. It just slides right off.

Hot enough that you cannot hold you finger on it for more than half a second, but not so hot that it would catch something on fire. Not sure about exact temp, but I would say 120 degrees.
