I have the same understanding of spot welds. In fact, I used to have a spot
welder, it was two tongs that created welds with the resistance between them.
The "spot" weld nozzle I have with mine basically allows you to press the
nozzle against the work because it holds it off the work about 1/4 inch. You
are supposed to punch a hole in the top piece of metal and fill it with what
I call a plug weld, facilitated by the nozzle being held the correct distance
from the work. Just pull the trigger.
