While the Vevor T-962 infrared oven did an okay job with the smaller boards I've found that it simply isn't close enough to being even to do complete batches of boards, ie, cannot reliably do 4 x microscope ring lights without burning the middle and leaving the outer edge frozen still.
In this part we get the digital/control side of the controller soldered on but stop after we have issues with the firmware, namely due to a brain-fart as I've found out later.
The oven itself is disassembled and evaluated, seems to be an acceptable test subject for a compact unit with ~1200W of power for 10 litres of volume, which is a better heat:volume ratio than my 45 litre 1800W drying oven.
