Re: how to remove spot welds?
you can drill the spot weld out completely or you can get a a sheet metal cutter set from snap on which i reccommened. it cuts my work time down by 70 % then driling out the whole weld. worth every penny. cost is about 120.00

Re: how to remove spot welds?
Thanks guys for all the help but I went by using a regular drill bit to remove them. Heres a link to some pictures.

Re: how to remove spot welds?
One of the best tools I've ever used. I expected it to be weak and wear fast so I bought extra bits.... well, I wasted money on the extra bits. lol. They last super long, but you need to take your time. I cut all the spot welds at a medium pace and the bit is still super sharp. I HIGHLY recommend this tool!!!!

rotobroach FTW....I couldnt believe how well they worked . I dont do a whole lot of body type work but what little I have done it has cut the tear apart time in half....I used to just use a unistep bit and drill through both panels , but of course that didnt always work out so well when reattaching things

Re: how to remove spot welds?
hey i tried using those a spot weld removal bit with the retracting pilot and had terrible luck with it. I think maybe because mine was a cheap knockoff.
I just tried using one of my regular drill bits and it came out pretty easy.
I just center punched the spot weld and went to town
I'm not sure if this is the proper way to remove spot welds but it seemed to work for me
just sharing my experience since i just did this yesterday
