Need Reflow Oven!

I hope that this question is not out of place here... Now that I've built the LitePlacer, I need an oven that is large enough to accommodate a 13.7" x 4.7" board. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Liteplacer table

For my tabletop I am going to use the HON # HPCT36Q. The table arrived today and I must say it is top-notch. I bought mine from www.OfficeWorld.com for $146.49 (free shipping, arrived to North Carolina from Texas in 2 days). http://www.officeworld.com/-/honhpct36q Here is the description: "Seam...

Re: Down camera rotates in housing

Did the "camera rotating" problem occur with the new cameras that Juha is shipping? I just received my LitePlacer in January.

Thanks,

Re: Liteplacer table

mrandt,

I just saw that you included the specs for the stainless steel that you ordered--I missed that on the first read. Thanks,

Re: Liteplacer table

mrandt, Thanks for this good information. I appreciate your reply! Do you have the detail on the alloy that you purchased? I just received a sample pack of 4" x 4" stainless steel. https://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?id=284&step=2&top_cat=1 Unfortunately the T-304 alloy is no...

Re: Liteplacer table

Where did you get your stainless steel top?

What alloy, thickness, finish, etc.?

How do the cameras work looking down on the stainless steel?

Thanks!

Re: Liteplacer table

What type of stainless steel did you use?

How does it perform compared to white MDF?

Thanks,

Re: Table Options

I found Malte's post....I was looking for a username "Malte".

I read about the stainless steel tabletop... what alloy and what finish works best? I know certain alloys are not magnetic. Also there are brushed and mirror finishes. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
