can I solder silver plated rings with this tool?

I have never tried soldering silver with it but mine gets hotter than any other torch I've had before. Just don't know anything about soldering silver.

No. Though it gets very hot, this tool does not get hot enough for precious metals. Already tried with brass, it just does not work. You'll need a higher pressure tool with gas that comes out of tanks not cans.

Good question. After researching for over 2 hours, I'm going to try this product for soldering silver plated rings Silver Bearing Wire Soldering Paste Welding Jewelry, 7.1 Gram wish me luck. xox

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

Yes, using the screw-open, screw-close ring you see in the picture. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't be possible.

Yes, I suppose you could. Just need the correct width, which wouldn't be a problem. I tinned them and soldered the wire on. Didn't even think about spade connectors.

Depends. For melting. it is probably limited to an oz or 2. For traditional silver brazing fabrication, the larger tips are well within the range of normal work on belt buckle size jobs. Even larger tips are available.

hi , i have a large swaging tool . but , you can also solder your stranded wire leads into each connector . this allows you to un-solder the connection if you need to make any changes . hope that this helps . by the way , dont forget to apply anti corrosive electrical grease on all mating connector ends .tom

Confusing answers! This particular tool can only be used for the copper style crimp rings...NOT the stainless steel cinch clamps.

Not sure. I have used it for electrical soldering and some jewelry soldering. have to be careful burns a little hot.

No. This soldering station will work on just about any type of job needed. You can vary the temp. and even lock the temp so it won't accidently get turned to a higher temp.

This is not a de-soldering tool. You would need wick material or a suction bulb along with the soldering iron for that work. Aven 17542 Desoldering Wick, 2.5mm Width, 5' Length. American Beauty SS-8 3oz Solder Sucker Bulb would be recommendations to purchase. Both available on Amazon.

I would tend to say no. My husband uses a Weller pistol grip soldering iron for jobs like that.

Absolutely. Those are known as SB connectors. This is exactly what this tool is designed for, among other types as well.

You will have to use their tips. I don't use the soldering part of the unit. I have two Weller soldering stations. I only use the hot air part of the unit for removing surface mount components. It works great for that purpose.

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

Sorry I have never used it that way, however just a little heat and you will be just fine. You will notice the solder paste turns from a grayish color to silver once heat is applied. This is meant for surface mount devices which are hard to solder with and iron. Hope this helps a little. Try a hair dryer if you don't have a regular heat gun.

No, you need to go to a Lowes or Home Depot and purchase a tool for just stainless rings. If you are doing work inside in a dry area copper will work. Outside go stainless for sure. I bought the crimp tool for copper and sent it back based on the plumber advising me. He lent me his stainless crimper unit. Units are about the same at Amazon as are the stores. it is a great system to replace copper tubing. 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.
