well I was just wondering if any of you know where to get a good precision soldering iron in the Us, like a .1mm tip or around there?

or anything close to a needle tip, i have been searching everywhere with no luck

Thanx in advance

I dont really know where you can buy a soldering iron like that but what I did was go to Radio shack and bought a regular soldering iron and filed the tip down to what ever size I needed. The tips are made if copper, coated with nickel so it looks like its made of steel but its just nickel coating over copper for protection but you can file them down to whatever size you need and they work great. my 2 cents good luck, hope this helps.
