SELECTING TIP CARTRIDGES FOR THE TALON HANDPIECE

Metcal TATC tip cartridges come in a variety of tip geometries and in two standard
temperature ranges (500 Series and 600 Series). To select the correct tip:
1. Use a tip that meets or overextends the length of the lead footprint.
2. Pick the lowest temperature tip cartridge
that will accomplish the task. Start with a
500 Series cartridge and switch to a 600
Series only if you need more heat. The
temperature series is marked on the
shaft.
