Spot weld remover tool

[jason.k]

What ones are u guys using? I've ordered a total of 4 from Eastwood and I'm burning then up pretty fast. Then the problem is I'm waiting on more to come in the mail. So what are u guys using that seem to work best? The ones I got from Eastwood are a 23 dollars a piece and I feel I'm nit getting my money's worth. Or maybe this is just part of the game. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

You must drill "square" , 90 degrees on the work, any tilt and teeth break.
Local auto parts stores (around here) have them on the shelves....

Some suggest you use some cutting oil. Keeps it cooler. I use HF cutters, cheaper and last about the same as more expensive ones.

I've been using a Blair spot weld cutter along with Blair Rotabroach stick lube. The cutter came with three replaceable cutter heads. The stick lube is like a sticky wax almost. It works great.

save your money...go to harbor freight and buy their spot weld cutter tool for $5. Use a sharp punch to make a center on all your spot welds and then add a drop of 5w20 and cut away!

I use the stick lube as well. I was breaking teeth before I started using the lube, was much better afterwards.

How fast are you spinning them? Full throttle on high speed might be too much drill speed for them.

The Blair ones are nice in you get 2 bits per. Just flip it over. Generally you break a tooth or two on those. They still cut but not as good. Flip and continue.

HF cutter works great. I've cut 100's with them

If you have a basic bench grinder and are using a black oxide drill bit you can just resharpen it each time you break a tooth on the end, eventually you won't as that small of drill bit will get too short quick,

The best few dollars you will spend. A good solid center punch or even a bit of 1/8 drill to keep it aligned. I dont think I fully used 3 so far with heavy use

I did a thread on removing the rear quarters. It shows what I did to remove the spot welds.

I have read in several forms that the pneumatics belt sander works like butter on spot welds...when I get into quarter panel removal I plan to give that a try

 

[dave67fd]

Belt sanders or grinders work but create alot of debris and take longer IMO.
As others said the HF's and center punch work fine. Use a variable speed drill with plenty of pressure running slower on the drill so you don't burn them out.

spring loaded center punch and small uni bit worked great for me. haven't had a unit bit go dull yet.

I generally use drill bits with a pilot tip. Seems to do fine for me. Picked up a set at Home Depot.
