What is the lowest setting you can put on this on iron

Patrick I am not shure . I have it on my bench at work I know the high setting is about 900 degrees i dont think that is correct i havent checked it . But I can tell you one thing that is a heck of a good station for the money . Ive had a repair shop since 89 and thats the best for the money . I was using edsyn stations but they were too expensive to maintain. Tips and heating elements for this station are cheap. and they have a good life . I run my station at about 675 degrees 10 hours a day 6 days a week . a tip will easily last 2 or 3 months and Ive never replaced the heating element. One thing I would suggest is to throw away the sponge that comes with it . I use a piece of stainless steel wool glued in the tray with silicone . This cleans the tip nicely and you dont experince temprature change from wetting the tips. Which keeps your station temp steady and prolongs the tip life. Tips are small enough to do smd removal.

I just checked my unit and the lowest set point temperature is 200 degrees Celsius (424 degrees F).

the on and off switch is part of the dial. Steam can also be used at lower temperatures. I'm very satisfied with this iron.

I love this iron. It is because it is a very easy glide and that you do no lifting that I like it. Automatic touch lowers and raises it. In my opinion it would be a good idea for you. It would be more the correct height for your ironing that would be more the problem.

It has an off button. You dial it to the type of fabric you will be pressing like perm press, cotton, linen. The steam temp will be determined by your fabric choice. It's a great iron.

A rotating dial right below the water fill hole goes from "off" to "linen"; very easy to read. However, in the "off" position, a red light on the handle remains lit for several minutes, though no heat is transmitted to the soleplate. To avoid the light, my habit is to unplug the unit when I'm through using it. This iron gets a grade of excellent in my book.

The soldering iron varies from 350F to 850F. So you have plenty of control over the temp. I normally use around 750F.

When temperature go down red light turn and when green light turn again you can use iron

You will have to make sure your iron stay below 150 C (302 F), or you could damage the Mylar. Note that the minimum steam setting of your iron is 100 C, so if you can use that temperature for your adhesive, you should be fine. Otherwise you will have to figure out a way of measuring the temperature of the iron, or just trying it on a test piece. A simpler thing to do would be to buy metalized buble wrap. A variety that I have used called Reflectrix Insulation model BP48050 has an R value that ranges from 7 to 3, depending on how you use it. It's pretty inexpensive and will save you a lot of time.

I believe the lowest setting is 40 degrees or so. I keep mine on the same setting about 1/.4 up from the bottom setting and it keeps my well house at around 50 deg. at the top.

As the previous responder noted the markings indicate that it can be set as low as 42 but physically the dial does seem to allow for a setting of about 40. Whether it maintains a setting below the markings is unknown to me. If you want it that low you might as well turn it off... there's another switch for that.

No, it does not it goes from lowest to max with the turn of a dial. All though when reading the manual it does refer to the lowest position as the off position but in reality it does not click to an off point. So you do have to unplug the iron. Then again I would do that with any iron.

For Super Hot Sauce the directions say 189 degrees F. I do not want to want my skis to get too hot (afraid that excessive heat can damage them)! So I determined what setting on the cheap iron that I use is 189 F by putting the iron on a digital thermometer (on a safe surface) and turning up the iron until it maintained a temperature around 190 F. In practice I use a little more heat than that and keep the iron moving.

It gets pretty hot.. There is no temp control on it. I'm assuming 400, since that the max on most flat irons

The lowest setting is 1, it goes to 30 and it has a setting for each number in between. Although the printing on the curling iron is listed in increments of 5. Although you can feel the clicking for every number, when you set the temperature.

I just went and checked 90 is the highest setting 50 degrees is the lowest one. You can set it in one degree increments.

Carl, The lowest it can be set is 45 degrees and held at that setting. I hope this helps.

There is a 'nylon' setting on this, but I haven't tried it, as we use this iron primarily for cotton/linens. If there is any doubt about certain fabrics, use a press cloth just to be safe, and you won't melt the fabric.
