This iron was built the same as the Pen Type Iron except for the dimensions. As before, I machined the iron core from a solid length of 5/8� brass rod. After the core was finished, a block of black walnut was turned on the core for the handle. I put a 2 degree taper on the handle to give a nice balance and feel to the iron. This time due to the size of the iron, I drilled and tapped it out to accept tips with a 10-24tpi thread. The tip has been drilled out for 1/16� stainless steel electrodes. They are held in place with a 4-40 hex set screw. The handle end is drilled out to accept a standard banana plug so it is interchangeable with my larger iron. |
