what are you guys using for spot weld cutters. Brand and sizes helpful. Which ones are worth buying and last longest.

i use brad-point drills ... use one that's about 1/32 larger than the weld. you only want to drill thru the top layer ... hard to do with a regular 118 degree point drill.

I have to agree with the brad point drill bits. Chaep easy to find at the local DIY home center. I've purchased cutters from the cheapest to the top line very expensive cutters. The drill bits are far easier to deal with and do last longer. The stuff we cut is always rusty and crudy and dulls a cutter quickly.
