Thanks Jerry, I'll try that. What part of Jersey are you from?

Hi Rick,

For easing keys, I like to be just at or slightly below boiling. For setting, I flick a drop of water on the broach. If the water sits there, raise the temp. If it rapidly boils off, lower the temp. You just have to find the crossover point, and mark the dial. As a safety, I test it occasionally.

Hi folks,
Just ordered the temp.control unit for soldering iron tool used in key bushing easing etc. My question is, how to set the control so as to not melt aluminum pieces, and what is the best setting for key easing?

Thanks,
Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano
