I did a review on the Qx 'Aluminum' soldering station, and I was not impressed with it then. I have been using it (mainly to save my desk lol) for different projects, the latest being the XT60 to EC5 adapter. I decided I would take some pictures of the block which is definitely NOT aluminum!
The other thing about this is it is PAINTED! And paint melts when you are getting things up to about 350C, where I solder most things. I end up having to use some scotch brite or my xacto knife to get the paint off of it.
The link below is for the soldering station. I do not suggest it in any way but wanted to include the link so you can see what I'm referring to.
