When should you use a beveling tip or cutting tip attachment?

Using a beveling tip or cutting tip attachment is essential specifically for making beveled cuts, which are often required for weld preparation. These types of cuts create an angled surface on the edge of the metal, which enhances the weld joint by providing a larger surface area for the weld metal and ensuring better penetration. This is particularly important in fabrication and welding processes where strong joints are paramount.

Beveling tips are specially designed to produce a specific angle for the cut, improving the quality and effectiveness of the joint. Therefore, in situations where you need to prepare metal edges for welding, the beveling tip ensures a proper fit and a strong weld, making it the correct choice for such applications.
