https://hakkousa.com/t18-c3-bevel-tip.html but pretty much every iron has beveled tips like this. I've found the trick to be precisely estimating how much solder I need to load on the tip, as having too much excess leads me to creating bridges. Then, of course, having good flux and good solder. I've taken to using 63/37 for non-ROHS stuff but last time I did it, I used SRA SAC305 (tin-silver-copper) ROHS and found it worked nearly as well as the lead-based solder. -Josh
