34 & 35 trucks are the greatest

I have found there to be different widths of cut off disks. Use the thinest you can find as it is more accurate and cuts faster....but wear eye protection, the thin ones are more likely to grenade if twisted wrong while cutting.
Torch would be a no-no. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 700 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 700 | I like 35 trucker's idea of Big Boy's Tools. Why use a wimpy die grinder when you can fire up the plasma arc? You could probably justify part of the cost by telling the wife that it would be great for the 4th of July and New Years Eve parties.
Actually, unless you are cutting stainless the die grinder will work just fine. Just remember eye protection because the disc do have a habit of going their own way at times.
