I generally don't let the electrode much out be base of the pencil point for what I weld at work. On the rencent This Old House Project, they went to the fab shop where they were making the bronze (or brass) banisters for the interior staircase. They showed the welder with his electrode protruding the cup by more than 1/2". It seemed strange to me. Anybody weld the same way? IMHO, even doing a 90 deg. inside filet doesn't require such protrusion.
