I was going to use a conversion chart ... but I can't find any instructions on it's use, or the tester elements from HAKKO which are included. Anyone use one?  Gunrunner John? 

I use it regularly, it's very easy to use.   I've attached the User's Guide.

As for the Celsius vs Fahrenheit, the difference between $20 and $250 was enough for me to do the temperature conversion!

I actually don't care that much, I set the Hakko 936 to about 600 and let her buck. While the temp of the iron matters it matters mostly to the item being soldered and I dont spend a ton of time on component level soldering if I have to change IC's on a board I have the soldering lady at work do the swap and she is a soldering ninja.

I do a lot of circuit board work, most with surface mount parts.  Temperature is somewhat critical, so I calibrate my iron.  You'd be amazed how far it can be off. 

I don't have a soldering ninja, so I have to make do by myself.

Thanks John!  I'm going to get a conversion table to use with it.
