I have seen threads on this subject before but I got nothing with a search. I am going to be dismantling an old El Camino and I doubt my Blair spot weld cutter with be up to the complete task. Thanks

I have used the blairspot weld cutter on my 69 gmc. I have used up three cutting heads.I have removed both rocker panels, kick panels, and both floor panels. I have used lots of wd40 as a cutting oil, I am going to go back and buy more cutting bits for the blair cutter. I figure I cut about 100 welds per head I know using a drill bit I would have had to sharpen it a dozen times cutting throught the welds. I hope this helps I really like the blair cutters

If you have a bench grinder you can make one out of a old drill bit. It will work but its up to you.

After looking all over on a Saurday I found double ended cutters at my local Napa Auto. $12.00 for the cutter on the spring loaded center arbor.

Got a part #? My local Napa shop is less than helpful to put it nicely.
Thanks,

HTP bits, I ordered a Titanium coated drill bit, works great, just been drilling spot welds on a rocker panel. Was only $19 with shipping.

I bought mine at Northern Tool.com It cost about 19 bux including shipping to Texas, but it is basically four "bits". It has two spring loaded arbors, with a reversible cutting tip on each one, a 1/4 and 5/16 for different size spot welds. Works real good.
