How to Remove Spot Welds: Must Know Tips and Tricks

Let's talk about how to remove spot welds, because it's more difficult than it first seems!

YOU DON'T NEED TO CUT THROUGH THE FIRST LAYER!!! You just need to cut deep enough that the first layer remains very thin, almost foil like. It will separate simply due to having little strength. :)

I am so glad You made this video because I’m about to tackle spot welds to remove the rusted rear valance from the hatch of my Z and all of your information covered all the questions I had before I needed to tackle this so thank you 🙏

I'm just about to start removing spot welds on my TR6 project so this presentation was very helpful. Great music!

[ThomasExplores]

[MrCaptainpwned]

Thanks for the insane detail in each part of the video gives a lot of insight for helping weld my radiator support on

Dang, after watching this my z might not be as solid as I thought it was 😅 good thing I am pulling the motor soon, and going to make the engine bay spiffy. I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!

Thanks for lesson. On my way to the junk yard to retrieve a truck fender. Please upgrade the body front support to a 4"x6" at least. The sideways 2"x4" is making me nervous to watch. When you mom bumps the fender human injury or bent fenders could occur wit a fall. Is the wood screwed together?

Great Video, very informational! What grit sandpaper did you use, or recommend for the belt sander?

Great video mate! Curious to know if you tried the spot weld drill bits? So they’re a drill bit with a flat head basically, advantage it has over the cutter bits are you don’t have to grind down the circle left over. I haven’t used them but planning on trialling them when I start my repairs

I'm proud of you for throwing yourself into this. Your knowledge has been growing at a fantastic rate. This classic Z is a car worth cutting your teeth on so I have to tip my hat to your proper stewardship.

If you';re not saving the panel you want off then dont waste time drilling, just grind the welds off, you'll still need to grind afterwards anyway

[Gagalukey]

Easier way to remove spot welds is to use a uni-bit. I'd recommend spending the $60 on a 1' Klein one, but if you're on a budget there's always the $12 Harbor Freight option. HF one just dulls out quicker and requires more effort to use over time. Uni-bits work best when ran at a relatively high speed, but not necessarily full throttle, and don't apply a lot of pressure. Not much more than the weight of the drill itself.

It's like a plug weld when you fill the hole.

Hello young dudes, get off your wallets and get a Blair spot weld cutter, the Annular cutters are higher quality and it has an internal stop that keeps you from drilling through.
