Alignment tool for a solder machine

A method, comprising:

• aligning a laser alignment hole of a solder machine alignment tool to a laser of a solder machine, the laser alignment hole defined by a slope that extends from a base portion of the solder machine alignment tool;
• aligning a solder wire feeder alignment slot to a solder wire feeder of the solder machine, the solder wire feeder alignment slot defined by a solder wire alignment portion of the solder machine alignment tool;
• securing the base portion of the solder machine alignment tool to the solder machine;
• and
• securing the solder wire alignment portion of the solder machine alignment tool to a bracket of the solder machine alignment tool.

An alignment tool, comprising:

• a sloped surface extending from a base, the sloped surface defining a first laser alignment means;
• a bracket moveably coupled to the base;
• and
• a solder wire alignment portion moveably coupled to the bracket, the solder wire alignment portion defining a solder wire feeder alignment means, wherein at least a portion of the solder wire feeder alignment means is aligned with the laser alignment means.
