Now I want to use it for cutting so I bought some thin cutting wheels. My original arbor does not clamp the thinner discs because the inside collar bottoms first. Do they sell different depths of arbors for this ? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 |  Mine has a washer that is stepped toward the center to a greater thickness to use to hold a thinner disc or cutting wheel. I would think it should have come with one. Check with the manufacturer and see if they sell one for use with the grinder you got.

At least mine does. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 | Don't forget a face shield and some gloves!  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | My inside collar doesn't work that way because the bottom side mates with two flat sides. However, I have found different thicknesses of upper collars. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 | Those electric angle grinders are a great tool but they don't do everything. They are clumsy as heck when it comes to cutting. If you want a nice tool to cut sheetmetal get yourself an air "die grinder" with a cut off disc, not that is a great tool for precision cutting.
