Quick 861 DE hot air station unboxing and review

[@radionicretrofit]

Nice video again Tony!We need more 486 stuff.Have a nice day!

[@tony359]

Thanks a lot! I have a Pentium motherboard on the pipeline! 🙂 and still working on that 386 board which I made part 1 about.

hi dear , how you convert M/S to LPM L/min

[@Tony359_2]

google :)

[@alic211]

Cubic Meters Per Second (m3/s)to LPM , you can convert ,, coz both are volume leaves the nozzle per time (sec or min),, cubic meter per second means like s cubic ballon has air 1m(length) X1m(width) 1m(height) leaves the nozzle per second

[@tony359]

to convert a speed to an airflow you need the size of the duct. How much volume is being moved depends on the size AND speed.

[@alic211]

exactly , you need the area of hose ,, Area of a circle A = π r² , 3.14X radius of hose , and the meter shows you m/s (Extech 45118)Air Velocity

Calculating CFM or Velocity from Area

Might check out the Atten ST-862D

[@tony359]

I searched for a while before landing on the Quick but I understand the Atten is a valid alternative indeed.

[@sudheerm.s6792]

setting low air and temperature on channel 2 , is the solution to cool down the heater without parking on stand

[@tony359]

It is. But I really don’t like that there is no way to stop it outside of the stand. I use a magnet around te handle, it fools the station thinking the handle is in the stand… it is a bit annoying though. Thanks for watching.

[@sudheerm.s6792]

@@tony359 Yes I watched a random video, one guy modified handle of quick 861 with switches and a remote control unit

[@tony359]

@@sudheerm.s6792 Sounds like a good idea - not what you would expect from a not-cheap station though.

[@From_the_mil]

Wonder how this one compares to the DW version

[@tony359]

From my understanding the DW has a more reactive blower so it reacts much faster when speeding up and down. But clearly the DE needs a beefier blower. The rest is the same.

I think the Best BST-863 with @RandomHacks upgrade board is a better way to go. It is easy to change the air flow and temperature settings while the nozzle is away from the holder which solves a lot of your negative comments on the Quick station. Though the BST 863 does a bit lower air flow at 180 LPM.

[@tony359]

Oh I saw that video, interesting. I don't think the massive airflow is such a feature tbh and yes, the inability to switch off the station unless the handle is back in the holder is annoying - as long as the constant speeding up to cool down. I think the Best is a good station, which one is best (ah-ha!) I can't say. I don't use mine very often so I can live with the downsides. To stop the airflow when the handle is not in its holder I use a small magnet to trigger the sensor inside the handle :) What matters to me is that it seems to be accurate and even. Thanks for watching!

Bought an ATTEN ST-862D, because Louis recommended it. Has 120 l/m and a button. ;)

[@tony359]

I admit the button would be helpful! :) But I also like my 200L/s, when using large BGA nozzles it's useful. I am still happy with the Quick - but the missing button is a big deal indeed!
