MODERATORS
As a welder, my experience has been that engineers know very little about fillets. The only thing they know even less about is the welding symbol they used to try to put said fillet on an outside corner.
I think they mean the feature fillet, not a fillet weld
what? I am supposed to use an symbol for that? tell me more!
An outside corner can't have a fillet due to the geometry of the joint. You could do a groove weld if you felt like it, but almost every engineering drawing I've seen will put a double fillet symbol instead of a proper fillet/groove combo.
If you ever want to tear your hair out I've heard welding symbol charts are basically indecipherable to non welder folk. Honestly looks pretty simple to me, but I was raised by a welder, so maybe I've been looking at them longer than most
silent 't' vs pronounced 't'
Great looking fillet. Looks like haddock.
I'm a big fan of large fillets with small chamfered edges.
