I buy £10-£15 angle grinders from cash and carry or DIY superstores, usally get 6 months to a years use out of them.

yeah that sounds like a plan.tbh it will only be used a handful of times anyway on project as at work ive got an air cut off tool anyway.ok cheers for info

last time i was i wickse,they were doing 2 for £30

i done loads of cutting. cheap, and if you do manage to burn one out, you have the 2nd one to fall back on.

I had a cheap titan grinder at £25 it lasted 2 minutes.

I've now got a dewalt grinder it cost £50 and it hasn't let me down yet. And don't think it will for a good while yet.

I recon bye a decent one rather than having to keep going to the shops

12 mth gaurantee,you never know you may need it again?

bosch 4" for working on cars with 1mm cutting discs too ideal for cutting sheet metal etc

ive had 2 BnQ own brand 4.5inch grinders, the first one lasted well over a year, and it took a hammering, the second only lasted a few months so i bought a black n Decker from machine mart for £35, had it for about a year and its done plenty of work, i regularly leave it in the back of the pickup in the rain, and it makes no difference.

I have had my BOSCH 4 1/2" over ten years now, and it's seen some serious abuse, just stopped on a few ocassions, but after cooling off fine again.
Perfect for car metal, just don't do any SS, as it kills the discs, but the proper SS cutting discs are cheap and last ages anyway.
