How to make Cheap Soldering Iron Tips (including SMD version)

Here is how you can make new tips for your soldering iron for literally only a few cents each! Including a special, bifurcated tip for desoldering SMD components without needing special soldering tweezers.
Since so many of you have asked me where to get copper wire, here's an affiliate link to some appropriate copper wire on eBay. Make sure to check the diameter of your current soldering tip and convert it into the right wire gauge using a lookup table before ordering:
ebay.us/M8WU4s
The lookup table I use:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...
This is the first video I made entirely for RU-vid, it's less than perfect but it's also the first video I ever made featuring narration, music and action all at the same time.
Actually I might have overdone the music part of it...
Please like, comment, share... to keep me motivated on my RU-vid journey!

I just love your passion making the soldering tips. May I make a suggestion, when sanding metal with a belt sander, make sure the spacing between the sand paper and the holding surface be slid as close to the moving sand paper as possible. Reason, if you slip the fingers have a less of a chance of getting "SUCKED IN" and injured. Just a friendly suggestion to you young man. One more thing fella, one can use steel copper plated which seems to last a longer. Also, monel metal really last long, but expensive. Thanks for the show Sir, too.

That is a good idea to share. I can share a idea too. I use a cheap soldering iron connected to an cheap outlet with light dimmer (potentiometer/triac type). I check the temperature with an multimeter. Know I have a temperature controlled soldering iron for 25€, since I need the multimeter for other work's too.

I never would have thought to do this. Without the plating they would break down faster but, it’s wire which means each of those minus the work put in costs next to nothing… I gotta try it now. Thanks for sharing!
@ChronicMechatronic
@ChronicMechatronic 2 года назад
Yep, they erode quickly, but I've had the plated ones and they break down as well. Just takes a bit longer for it to start. Actually, (since I'm not always doing a whole lot to soldering), I'm only now getting to a point where I'd have to reshape the tip I've been using ever since making this video. That's almost a year later. And since I made them quite a bit longer than necessairy, I just need to file it down somewhat to be back in business...

It is Wonderful to see a young Man so creative and capable of thinking outside the box! I love it! Not a criticism, but rather an FYI, your files will work better if you only use them on the push stroke rather than the return one. Someone had to tell me before and I am so glad they did. It keeps them sharp so they can do your magic better.

An excellent idea and easy to make. Difficult to find pure copper with the diameter which I need for my soldering iron here. I did find brass rod of the correct diameter. What's your opinion? Better than iron for sure.
@ChronicMechatronic
@ChronicMechatronic 3 года назад
Yeah, brass is certainly better than iron. It's third-best at conducting heat (just checked) I think for most electronics soldering jobs it should do fine, tho it could pose problems when trying tin thicker copper wires. What's the wattage of your soldering iron?
@carmelsaliba7710
@carmelsaliba7710 3 года назад
@@ChronicMechatronic Thanks for your opinion. I will make a tip using brass rod 4.75mm diameter for my old but very reliable Weller 25W and let you know. Its ideal for small soldering jobs on pcb board but tips are unobtainable so I will make a tip using your post. I have another 60W soldering iron for tougher jobs (but not Weller!!)

Typical tips are copper for thermal conductivity iron plated to reduce corrosion, chrome plated body to prevent solder wicking and solder plated at the end for wetting. Keep the iron at a reasonable lower temp. Clean and retin constantly to prevent wear/oxidation. Avoid lead free solder. Your tips will last. Filing a mistreated tip will expose the copper core and rapidly disolve in the solder and or oxidize. How did the brass work out?
