Spot weld drilling is hard on the arms and elbows. I did mine differently. I first used a cutoff wheel and remove all the sheet metal that I could leaving a strip close to the spot welds. I then used a 4.5" cutoff wheel and cut around the spot weld. This lets you pull most of the metal away from the spot weld. I then ground it down flat. You will still need to grind the weld flat after the drilling process so that work does not change. You need to be careful to not cut into the longs but when drilling you need to also be careful to not drill too deep. Be sure to wear a GOOD dust mask. Comfort masks are BS. Get good ones. Breathing this stuff is very hard on the lungs.
