Welding tip selection
The correct tip will make a difference on quality and appearance of the weld. There are different tips for various applications. The two welder kit tips are the conical tip (# 4 in photo) and the 3/16” fillet weld tip (# 6 in photo).

WELD TYPES
Fillet Welds
 
Fillet tips are used mainly for fillet welds [90º] and butt welds. The style of those tips allows one to weld from inside corners out and be able to seal the corners without changing to another tip style. Fillet tips can also be used for crack repairs, as long as the crack is somewhat straight. The longer preheat section allows faster welding speed than welding cracks with the conical tip.
Conical Tip, Repair Tip, Prototyping Tip
  
Conical tips are used for crack repairs, filling small holes, spot welding, for reaching tight areas, and for prototyping. Because of their conical shape, the repair tip and prototyping tip offer similar types of welds. Choose the size that best suits your application
Ribbon Weld Tip
The Ribbon weld tip is used to make a seam weld on thermoplastic materials such as belting and thin sheets. Because this welding tip does not weld down to the root side, it should not be used for regular butt welds.
