    Does anyone use any cut-off wheels other then the ones you get at home depot?

    im getting tired of going through a disk every 3 min.

    been looking at ones from ABCO, they are a little pricey but if they last, then they are worth it.

    lookin at these. Edit: this is for 4 1/2" angle grinder

            I use standard old Norton wheels and I cut tons of stainless with them. They last a while if you cut with straight and don't twist them in the cut.

              We have Sait at work http://www.unitedabrasives.com/index.html , the grinding wheels last forever and we have .045 cutting wheels also that are nice.

              And while we are on the subject I have a Metabo 6" grinder at work and it is sick , http://www.metabo-anglegrinders.com/...h.23018.0.html . They are pricey but I really don't think there is anything better out there. I have 2 Dewalt 11 amps at home.
