Blair Equipment Tools

Whether you’re welding large steel frames or restoring thin automotive panels, metalworking has its own secrets. When it comes to making holes in metal constructions, Blair Equipment Company knows pretty much all nuances. Based in Flint, Michigan, this company was founded in 1952 by Dr. E. Douglas Hougen, the man who invented a spotweld cutter in the late 1950s. This convenient tool became popular among body shops, and these days, the enterprise manufactures its improved and updated version along with plenty of other annular cutters and related parts.

The Blair Equipment spot weld cutter is the choice of professionals. Inserted into a hand-held drill, it has to rotate at 500 rpm max to make the spotweld removing process quite easy while leaving the underlying metal panel undamaged. This way, you can take off a damaged body part and then weld on the restored or new one. There are several types of weldcutters most of which feature the same cutter size of 3/8”; the only exception is a solid carbide spotweld cutter available in several diameters according to the metric standard.

Indeed, in order to provide the necessary precision and achieve high hole quality with minimal effort, a traditional drill can turn out to be ineffective. In addition to spotweld cutters, Blair Equipment develops and produces several lineups of other cutters in different designs. There are Rotabroach, Holcutter, and Blaircutter lines meant for making burr-free and clean holes of various diameters, in thin and thick materials of different hardness, and they do it quite fast without jagged edges and torn material. Also, the company offers various kits that include the most popular holemaking tools placed into practical toolboxes keeping them organized and protecting your fingers from sharp edges. All of these tools are available in our store.
