	There needs to be insulation between the copper core and the nichrome. This needs to withstand 315°C and be electrically insulative. Higher thermal conductivity is better. It would also be good to find a second insulator to wrap around the outside.		There needs to be insulation between the copper core and the nichrome.

Kapton and Fiberglass seem like good option.

			There are quite a few projects that will buy a cheap iron and put a thermal coupler inside the iron to sense the temperature. They seem to work decently well.
