Conical Shape (Type B)
A good general purpose starter tip, this and the chisel shape are often found as the default tip. Frequently the side of the conical tip is used for soldering, as the very tip is often less efficient for heat transfer and runs cooler. Some conical tips will have a rounded off end which improves heat transfer in general use.
Beveled Shape (Type C)
Essentially a conical tip with a bevel on the end, it can be used for general soldering, and provides a useful flat spot for better heat transfer. It is especially helpful for heating contact pads on PCBs while providing heat transfer to the leads as well. In combination with the chisel shape, it provides more soldering angles to the user. This tip can also be found with a straight shank rather than a cone. You may even encounter tips which are only iron plated on the face of the bevel.
Knife Shape (Type K)
