When I had to solder on some surface mount chips, I took a file and
filed down one of the larger tips I already had. Tapered it down to a
nice small ended tip that did the job well.
Best Regards

I need a precision soldering iron (long needle like
tip) for electronics use,
any suggestions?
I found one made by GOOT a CS-30 in an old radio shack catalog but they no
longer have them and I cant find a website in the US that still sells them.
I have an scsi chip on an amiga addon board that got wacked in shipping and a
few of the pins have broken off from their solder pads (its a surface mount
chip and none of the pins are broke just desoldered). My current 23 watt
soldering iron has a tip thats just too big for this kind of work.
Thanks for any help (I assume one can be found for around $20)
