You don't have to do that very often, but in this case the bushing was being ornery about seating straight. I mostly use it as a 'scratch rod' to scratch in the melted solder to make sure it's all flowing and get rid of any flakes and globs of flux or dirt.zeeprogrammer said:Excellent video Shred. Excellent.
Always better to see what people are talking about.
Thank you very much.
Amongst the learnings was the use of the rod. I don't think people ever talk about seating the part when soldering.

I must invest in one of those step drills.
Anyone know where they can be had for a reasonable price?
My local shop wants about $100 for one.
I think that's even the same brand name as the ones I have.tel said:I think I paid around $40 from my local Chindian Shoppe, but here's a set closer to you for reasonable money.

Should be fine for the occasional use they get.
