esantoro Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 One obsessions invariably leads to another. My foray into soldering irons has went its way to embossing presses, which has lead to branding irons, which got me into temperature control devices for both branding irons and soldering irons, which has now got me intrigued about infrared thermometers to check and fine tune the high temperatures required for the above applications. Can anyone recommend a good infrared thermometer and/or point out any shortcomings I may experience with such devices, such as unexpected difficulty in getting a reliable temperature reading from the tip of a soldering iron? The price range I was thinking about is $50 and lower. Now, back to Amazon.com to read reviews. Thanks, Ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
