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.
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'
For Fisherman: Can I have some BASS music?
For Musicians: Can I have some BASS music?
... or "edge round" for the unigraphics bros amongst us
It's called "edge blend" nowadays if I'm not wrong

I think they mean the feature fillet, not a fillet weld
what? I am supposed to use an symbol for that? tell me more!

i did a CAD course, it never touched welding symbols, not that we saw much of symbols at all, mostly very basic tolerences and surface finnish
Great looking fillet. Looks like haddock.
I'm a big fan of large fillets with small chamfered edges.
