Looks like Cutting Edge technology to me so than you Trev!small steel cutting wheels, last few get in fast, I have ordered mine, cost over a pound each here.View attachment 101236
Buy a Makita grinder Trev rather than cheap Chinese ones and it will last for years. I bought a few packs of thin cutting discs from Lidl the last time they had them in.I go through them like a knife through butter, I have also went through three angle grinders in 6 mths, just taken delivery of 2 new ones which will maybe last to xmass.
I have had my makita grinder for well over 25 years, ok not used as much now but it’s first 10 years it was worked hard,and still works wellBuy a Makita grinder Trev rather than cheap Chinese ones and it will last for years.

Your shorts are no more than an expanded G-string.Last time I used a cheap disc it exploded into a trillion fragments, most of which embedded in my legs, jaysus, that burnt.
Moral of the story is, never wear shorts when grinding.
I have 2. A 4inch for grinding and a 4 1/2inch for cutting. 110v so use with a transformer and had them for years. Buy quality buy once.I have had my makita grinder for well over 25 years, ok not used as much now but it’s first 10 years it was worked hard,and still works well
Think it is the other way around as the aluminium dust can ignite especially if the dust is collected in a bag with the likes of a die grinder or dyna file.And keep your discs somewhere dry and where they wont get damaged....
Google Angle grinder accident if your wondering why.
Always wear goggles and never be in a position where the disc can hit you if it let's go....
Refer to my comment about googling angle grinder accident.
Never use discs you've used on steel/iron on Aluminium....
I was taught on a disc safety course NOT to mix discs either way...Think it is the other way around as the aluminium dust can ignite especially if the dust is collected in a bag with the likes of a die grinder or dyna file.
Its the trigger that seems to go on them, i have tried all makes from £14 to £100 all pack in after a short time.Purchased some to give them a try, I mainly cut stainless so they fingers crossed.
As for the grinder Trev go for the Mikita worth the extra cash for the time they last.
Keep them off the bench when using other grinders as the grinding dust gets into the windings and kills the grinder, it won't be the first time I have thrown one across the workshop after getting a shock.
