Smaller grinder/discs
I was reading in another thread about thin grinder discs, and I was wondering, are thin discs less sparky/dusty? I've got a grinder which is a
bit heavy, and everytime I get loads of dust/sparks/noise, so would smaller grinder/discs be much better? Ben

Use the correct disc for the job ---- cutting with a grinding disc produces a lot more dust & debris, equally well grinding with a thin cutting
disc is not a safe idea.
For more delicate cuting jobs cut off tools are ideal really a smaller grinder -- ideal tool for cutting off old exhausts.
I might add it pays to use top quailty disc (I now use onkly Bosch) also a 125 mm grinder is a much more useful tool and grinds/cuts for longe
without a disc change compared to a 115mm version.

flap disc's i find are much more quieter, remove steel quicker and leave a better finish than grinding discs.
for cutting i use 0.8 or 1mm slitting discs.

http://www.garryson.co.uk/uk/products_abrasives.html
just a thought, we use these by the dozen ay work, we get a good discount, can find out price if anyone wants me too, will need to add postage though
but for a box i would guess it would work out pretty cheaper than buying yourself over the counter. We also get up to 40% off Draper catalouge prices
so if anyone spots owt they want in there gis a shout n i will find out best price we can get.

For grinding
I use a flexible nylon backing pad and some 60 or 80 grit fibre disks. They are cheap, last ages and don't make as much noise, sparks or dust as
abrasive disks
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
