  • Our take on the Metcal GT90 Soldering Station

    The Metcal GT90 is a 90 W corded soldering station with a digital display and adjustable temperature up to 450°C. It uses Metcal's GT interchangeable tip system and ships with a slim handpiece, a stand and a tip removal pad. It sits below Metcal's induction-heated MX series but above basic analog stations, aiming at bench work that needs repeatable heat and ESD safety. Owners of Metcal gear tend to value tip life and heat recovery; the GT90 trades some of the MX line's instant-recovery performance for adjustable, readable temperature control.

    Questions and answers

    Is the GT90 a good step up from a basic soldering iron?
    Yes, if you want adjustable temperature, a digital readout and ESD safety. It gives more heat headroom and better control than fixed-temperature irons.
    Can I use my existing Metcal tips on the GT90?
    No. The GT90 uses the GT tip series, which is separate from the MX and STTC tips used on other Metcal stations.
    What comes in the box?
    The station, the GT-HPHC-T4UF handpiece, a GT-WS stand and a tip removal pad. Tips are sold separately.
    Does it work with a fume extractor?
    Yes, the station has a connection for a fume extractor, which helps in enclosed bench setups.

    It handles moderate SMD work with the right tip, but fine-pitch rework usually calls for hot air or a dedicated rework station.
