I have seen several references here before about the spotweld drills/cutters
that Eastwood sells. I see they have two varieties, and also two sizes of
each variety. The first one is a solid drill bit that they call
"professional grade," and is the more expensive of the 2. The second is a
cutter with replaceable heads. Both come in 3/8 and 1/2 inch sizes. I will
be using this item to remove the spot welds in my B's floors. The prices are
similar for the 3/8 inch units ($15 for the cutter, $20 for the drill), so
whats the consensus on which works best? From my perspective, the drill
appears to remove more of the weld from the "bottom" panel than the cutter,
so it appears to require less grinding which is a good thing. Are the 3/8
inch size OK for this purpose, or do I need a 1/2 inch one (seems a bit big
to me, but their description mentions that the bigger 1/2 inch size is
needed for trucks and convertibles)? Does anyone else but Eastwood sell
these items? I have checked my local home improvement type places and Sears,
but have seen nothing similar. Thanks.
