Quickly quote for weld types such as fillet, bevel, square and more.     Let's explore how.    1\. First you will need to quick add a weld operation. Learn more about how to use “quick add” for a welding operation in our resource center. After quick adding a weld operation you will be able to add it as a “Secondary Cost” to a line item. In this example, our operation is “Weld” and the equipment is “Weld.”   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26694346778395.png)   2\. Starting with the type of weld needed, three calculators are provided depending on what you would like to quote for. In this example, we are using our specialized calculator for a fillet weld and do not need MIG or TIG. Deselect those options.     ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26694346783515.jpg)   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26694326950043.png)   3\.
