Don't most spot welders have a capacitor bank that is charged then dumped
into the load for the spot weld. It would seem to me that someone would
have a control box with caps that would use a standard welder for power to
charge the caps. Don't know that to be fact just seems like a workable idea
that may be out there.

As "M" said, the current is much higher and the open-circuit voltage
much lower for a spot welder. About an order of magnitude different,
so it wouldn't be the same transformer (the secondary winding, in
particular would have far fewer turns and would be much heavier).
