[SBE] IR vs HotAir BGA rework stn?

[Henry M. Seiden]

Edwin,

How about $250 for just the reflow part? That will lift the IC (little  
tool to lift it provided). Placing would be rework...

I found an excellent unit for a reasonable cost to reflow and lift-  
AT85028. It has 8x specific size chip attachments (screw clamp), hot  
air (I learned it and it works great for removal!), and solder  
station. Fast and low chance of messing up the board/IC. Does require  
getting used to doing it.

Also you may used rework stations, if you know what you want going up  
for sale at eBay.

I'm very happy lifting off the old IC's and manually placing and  
soldering. I do very small quantities.
