Will this work with lead free solder?

Absolutely, it can handle the higher melting point of lead free solder, no problemo.

Thanks much for the answer, I can certainly say that I'm now looking forward to getting one!

No. Just an excellent soldering station. Great for smd rework. This is what you're looking for http://www.ebay.com/itm/SuperChief-250-Resistance-Soldering-System-/251424893524?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item3a8a176a54

I used it to make a leather cutter blade repair and had to file it to fit. It was harder than a lead/tin solder but I'm not sure it would have the wear qualities you require. It may be worth a try considering the price of the product.

Can't answer your question, but they really should be soldered to be dependable. Find cheaper sets like this one and use just what you need... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp;=mtr&item;=321276224408

There a some good guides online to do this. I forgot it which one I used, but it took me about 35 minutes to do the whole process and I had never even soldered before.

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

Gotcha. I wonder if you might have better luck getting a metal smith to fill it in with silver solder... Just a thought.

Yes it can. You will need to solder the proper deans connector to the charge lead however.

I use my for home pluming jobs. I'm not sure if it works with silver soldering.

These boards are small enough that bridging the pads with solder works pretty well if you put the components close together. For things with leads, leds, resistors, etc. using part of the lead as a trace works really well. This page has some good examples of both methods: http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Tutorials/SolderingAPerfBoard

No idea mine broke the 2nd time I tried to use it which was like 6 months after the 1st time. The solder came loose so I no longer would recommend this

Don't know about lead-free but I would think so given the size of the manufacturer. The ink is in the glass as far as I can see. Enjoy.

Sorry I have no idea that that is, I use it in jewelry making. I would assume it would work in any soldering situation but I've only used it using silver solder used in jewelry.

It should as most lead free pewter is mostly tin, which melts at a lower temperature than lead. However for a definite answer you would need to know the alloy of the lead free pewter.

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.

I'm not sure but it also did not clean silver well after soldering. I don't recommend it.

No way!! For one thing it's held together with solder so it would fall apart immediately!
