Other stanard temps for fixed temp weller tips are 315C, 430C, and 480C
Any variable temp iron goes to well over 400C
The industry standard Hakko 926/936 for instance goes to 480C on the dial.
Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a variable temp iron that doesn't go
to at least 400C.

** Hi to all,
" Does your chewing gum loose its flavour on the bed post overnight "
was THE burning question on everyone's mind back in the 1959 -
courtesy
of one Lonnie Donegan. Yep - I am old just enough the remember hearing
it
on AM radio.
But my question IS can YOU see any red glow from a typical soldering
iron - in the dark of course. You will need to try this out, in a dark
room, at night - after allowing a few minutes for your eyes to adjust
to
the very low light level.
Would just like to know what temperature is needed to create a barely
visible, dull red glow.
So far, I reckon it is a bit less than 370 C.
Any takers?
Quick answer: No. If it is, it's too hot.

LOL!The only irons that will get to
that sort of heat is the old large Scope iron with the 3.3 volt AC tranny.
