A spot welder uses 2 electrodes positioned opposite each other. 2 pieces of metal (usually thin) are placed like a sandwich between the electrodes which come together with force and an electrical current is passed thru them which actually melts the pieces where they touch each other. This produces a small weld "spot" . This spot is about the same size as the tips of the electrodes.
