    I've used the 3 inch cutoff wheels on a die grinder for years. For some reason it never dawned on my to try a 4 1/2 wheel on an angle grinder. I tried it a couple days ago, wow what a useful tool. I made a pair of front batwings, one with torches and the second with the cut off wheel. I think the second one took about half as long as the first one. And that was just using a $15 Harbor Freight angle grinder.

    I've been fortunate to never have any scary incidents with the cut off wheels. I did however have one of those 3M gasket cleaning pads fly off, and it felt like it neutered me!

    One question Jim. How did you cut the inside radius for your coil over axle bracket? Did you just make a series of cuts and then grind it out?
