A two-in-one soldering and rework station combines the precision of a soldering iron with the versatility of a hot air gun, making it a powerful tool for electronics repair professionals. Whether you’re working on smartphones, computers, or general circuit boards, a well-organized and calibrated station can drastically improve your productivity.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up your Gordak two-in-one station for maximum efficiency and safety.

1. Choose the Right Location
Your workstation should be:
- Well-lit: Adequate lighting is essential for precision work
- Static-safe: Use an ESD mat and wrist strap to protect sensitive components
- Ventilated: Soldering fumes should be extracted with a fume absorber or proper ventilation
Place your station where you have enough elbow room and easy access to your tools.
2. Assemble and Connect the Station
After unboxing your Gordak 2-in-1 station:
- Attach the soldering iron and hot air gun securely into their holders
- Plug in the power cord and ensure all cables are safely routed
- Set the station on a stable, non-slip surface
Make sure your station model includes a temperature calibration function for more precise control.
3. Calibrate the Temperature
Proper temperature settings are critical for component safety and soldering quality:
- Soldering Iron: Typically set to 300–350°C
- Hot Air Gun: Start around 280–320°C with airflow adjusted to the component
Allow both tools to heat up and stabilize before starting work. Test on a practice PCB if needed.
4. Organize Your Workspace
Efficiency begins with organization:
- Keep tweezers, flux, solder wire, desoldering wick, and solder paste nearby
- Use labeled trays or magnetic parts holders for small components
- Place frequently used tools within reach to reduce downtime
Optional: Add a digital microscope for fine-pitch work such as BGA and SMD soldering.
5. Perform a Test Run
Before your first repair job:
- Test the soldering iron tip on scrap PCB material to ensure smooth solder flow
- Use the hot air gun to reflow a sample component and observe airflow impact
Adjust temperature and air volume based on the component’s size and sensitivity.
6. Safety Checks
- Never leave the station unattended when powered on
- Use heat-resistant mats under your work area
- Regularly clean the iron tip to maintain conductivity
- Switch off the unit and allow it to cool after use
7. Maintain the Station
Proper maintenance ensures long-term performance:
- Replace worn soldering tips and hot air nozzles as needed
- Inspect power cords for wear or damage
- Clean filters and vents on your hot air gun
- Use only original Gordak accessories for optimal results
