I had to read that twice. The first time I read it I thought you said your PES51 had a tip bent on a 90 degree angle!

Andyh,
The most common problem is a very hot iron and a pointy sharp tip. The
very small tip
often means running higher heat so it can heat larger joints but one hot
they maybe
too hot. Also the excess heat often causes the materialization at the
end of the devices
to disintegrate if not outright cracking the part.
If people saw what I use they would likely faint. My PES51 I usually
have a .90"
tip in it, sometime the .125 wide and the second iron a older Wtcp-60 a
larger .250 tip,
and its a 60W temp controlled iron! Its handy as it makes heating both
ends of a
1206 easy.
Doesn't hurt I have a massive number of years experience with PACE, HAKKO,
and Weller servicing and building. One thing is not ripping everything
up that
can be left alone.
