Does it have the tip and temp/watt necessary for stained glass?

No, at the top temperature of 450 degrees with only a 1/4" tip, the station is continually heating and cannot keep up.

Hi Linton. Not sure on the tip issue. I do many types of repairs and small hobby things with mine. I have no doubt u can do glass. Just not sure if the particular tip u want is included. I have 2 of these units. I have suffered zero burn outs on tips etc.Been a mil wright 35 yrs. The tool works well. I dial in the heat I need for alloy I'm using and it's good to go. Hope this helps u friend. Merry Christmas an Happy Holidays

Not sure of the tip but certainly hot enough for light stain glass work...but I suggest you check the temp of the S>G> solder to ensure the temp is on the Solder Station...

It is never too hot to touch the metal desklamp shade I have above it. It gets very warm but not hot. I would say less than or about the same as a 40 watt bulb.

I have not used it for stained glass but hear it does work well for that. You just need to start with a low temp and gradually increase until you get the result you want. Not sure what temp you require, but the Hakko's range is 392°-896°F.

Yes, I have a larger double dome for 150 watt blubs. Just make sure the glass is clean and dry before sticking it on.

no, it does not, only temp light,This makes a very pretty cookie design, but there are issues, I wish I had not bought it, if you wish more information, please ask

No, it is not temperature regulated. Looking at the pictures, there is no way the base station can determine the temperature of the tip, and without this feedback, the base station cannot adjust the wattage to maintain the correct voltage.

It comes with six tips; three points, one blade and two chisel. Also, two handels/heating elements. Very nice unit that heats up quickly and tells you what temp it is at.

I don't know. Sorry I can help you with that. I only use it for glass and plastic etchings.

I can't speak to the wattage use. But yes there is a glass plate in front of the burner mounted on a slant

Yes. We have been using one in a surface-mounted glass lensed fixture for some time with no problems. There is less heat build-up than the 60W incandescent lamps they replaced and they are much brighter.

I can tell you the advantages of the WES51, but you'll have to decide if something lower cost is more appropriate for your current needs. The temperature regulation increases your chance of being able to replace surface mounted devices without destroying the foil or SMD. A beginning Hobbyist may not encounter SMD's. The regulated tip temperature also results in lower peak tip temperature and longer tip life. The 50 watts is more power than I need for a soldering pencil, but provides very fast stabilization of tip temperature (probably about 30 seconds from a cold start). This means you can leave the station off until you are ready to solder, allowing for lengthened tip life. If you are distracted and forget to shut the station off, it will time out at 99 minutes, again preventing destruction of the tip. The range of tip sizes makes the station useful for anything from the smallest surface mount components (1/32" ETH tip) to tinning large wires (1/8 ETC tip). These are "screwdriver" shape tips, which I find the most useful.

I don't think it is for windows...only for any kind of glass or crystal on a lamp or a fixture....I personally disliked this product...used it on a foyer crystal tear-drop fixture and it made the crystal more cloudy. Am a little disappointed in this product for not shinning up the glass on my fixtures, thereby creating a "duller" look.

I'm not sure what those are, but use it for stained glass soldering and it's not hugely powerful. I have to have it within 6 inches of the item I'm working on.

If you look at some stained glass websites, you can find a 1/4 cone or chisel tip for fine work. I just use the edge of the stock tip for detailed jobs and it works well.

do not know about wattage. lamp has three settings of brightness and emits a very pleasant bright and warm light. the bulb, if there is any is built in.

most likely you'll get the glass surface temperature if the beamis focused on the glass surface. you'll need to sight down directly on the liquid to get a better sense of its temperature (and it'll be a near surface measurement, not of the bulk average.)
