    Anyone know what size diameter is best for cutting spot welds on our trucks? I'm 3/8s but not sure.

    I made an honest effort and looked.
    Toyota just says to drill them out. No size given.
    I guess, go small and work your way up.

    That's what I read...but with the new self centering purpose built bits I figured I'd have to ask!

    I've had better luck just sanding down the welds than cutting them with Spot Weld cutter above. This Harbor Freight sander worked great and I could just take little nibbles out of the weld without harming the material below it.
