Tools of the trade / Mini wave solder machines, what's out there?
Purchasing the pick and place from the group buy has me needing one more equipment to complete the assembly. A wave solder machine for the through hole parts. Hand soldering is always an option but it can slow you down and eat up the time you saved using the PnP machine. Designing out the TH parts is out of the question.

This is a bit more complicated that I thought it would be because of power, space and fume extraction issues. I prefer to have a selective soldering instead of a regular wave solder machine so I don't need to mask when required but those are way out of my budget. Ive seen some fountain type machines that maybe I can build a motorized XY carriage to move the board around (probably not a good/feasible idea).

So what are you guys using to solder your TH parts quickly?

Here are some of what I've found. Mostly 220V.

Mini Selective wave solder, no guides/rails/motors. Could have been perfect.

Desktop Wave solder. Might be a good candidate.
