conical tip on soldering iron

john · 2009-03-14T10:55:00+00:00

I must have lived a sheltered life because onmy Antex soldering iron I have always used a standard chisel tip.Recently I saw a lot of cheap soldering irons in the stores with a conical tip. I can't think I'd ever want to use that shape but someone must be doing so. What use does a concial tip have for electrical/electronic work?

In this case "a set of rolls" means a group of solder spools mounted for convenient work access.

Try looking on homebrew suppliers for a roller mill. .

I guess this is becoming about the opposite of electronics stuff, but anyhow...

One source of small-scale grain mills is Lehman's hardware, online at or in person in central Ohio. In particular, this roller mill sounds like what you want:

They're a first-class outfit to do business with. (I've no connection with them other than being a satisfied customer.)
