What Is a Spot Weld Cutter

A true spot weld is when two panels are pinched together and joined through an electrical current to fuse them together. A rosette or plug weld is when you drill a hole in the top layer, pinch the two panels together, and fill the hole; joining the two panels together.

How does Spot welding work?

Spot welding works by applying pressure and heat to the weld area using copper alloy electrodes. These electrodes transport an electrical current through the weld segments. As the material melts the parts are fused. At this point, the current is turned off and pressure from the electrodes is upheld.
