Bringing this one back from the dead. I've been doing a lot of spot weld cutting this past week and believe it or not the cutter I got is from Harbor Freight.

Their bits are are double sided and I'm still using the first side after probably 60 or more cuts. I've been using a center punch to mark the center of the weld, then a 1/8 bit to start a pilot divot. I don't want to drill all the way through as then I'd have to plug weld it up after. And now I think the key....dipping the cutter in some heavy weight oil every 3 or 4 welds to keep it from burning up. For $5 or whatever it cost it's gone way further than I thought it ever would and it's going to keep me from having to plug weld everything back up now.
