    Thats the one menards has that I bought, I kept the speed lowish and used a few squirts of oil and had no problems. I use these for work, eats a schlage (is that even the correct spelling) deadbolt like butter. The cheaper door knobs almost like play dough.

    Ah. OK yeah thats not a spot weld removal bit but is what I referred at as a "regular bit". Meaning the shape of the point. In cobalt (looks nitrided too). Still works! I have a $9 set of nitrided step bits from HF that I've used for many years, those would work fine too. Heck I've used a plasma cutter to do it before, lol. Working in this spot, neatness isn't as important. Just need holes! Maybe our hero will get it whooped over the weekend...
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.
