I am sure this question has come up many times. What is the appropriate temp for Soldering components on to PCBs? I am using 60/40 solder.
 
My Pace station sits at 650 degrees F.

That was the recommended setting when I went to the training class on their equipment back in the mid-90s.
 
Yep 650-700 is pretty good. Sometimes you may need to turn it up a bit if what you are soldering or de-soldering is sitting on a big heat sink.
 
I just use the desoldering iron along with the soldering iron if I need the extra power.
