You can do it with any top really. Larger sizes might be better though.
What is your current tip?, and have you tried it?

Dave.

The WES51 uses the PES51 pencil which uses the ET series tips.

If you don't mind sloppy work, use lots of flux and have a lot of soldering experience, any ordinary screwdriver tip will work. If you want better results with less effort, try to get some tips that match the work. A bent conical (Weller doesn't offer one) for chip components and bevel (single flat) for gull wing leads are a good start. Plato makes a reservoir tip for SMD that fits (EW-0574).
