Get a couple of extra batteries. I've got a Makita 4.5" that never slows down or stalls- - - -it's got a cord, however. Jerry

Yes, it is the go-to tool for all manner of cutting. Personally on those, I like corded. I also use a die grinder. The little brother. Those are air. Your unit is just called an "angle grinder". You have to really be focused and man handle it. You are talking 10,000 RPM. Always be sure to have the wheel rotating to pull itself into the cut. Gloves and facemask. A very useful tool. There will be times the thin disc with break/partially shatter due to various reasons. You can cut with it using a 1/16 think disc and grind with it using thicker discs. DO NOT do what I did, I took off the guard and the handle. Don't use the .040 disc.

Those are good machines. The only thing I liked better was my Milwaukee. Always use safety glasses, shields and guards. Like Jerry says, plenty of batteries. Any heavy grinding will use them up quick. I've found three minimum, four is better. That way, when one dies, you will have a fully charged one at the ready. As long as you keep rotating them through the charger.
We use Milwaukee grinders cutting rebar everyday . work well for us hilti discs are the best . Have tried a lot of different brands even hilti and Milwaukee come out on top
We grind a lot. We still use corded Fein and the made in Germany Metabo. We have good luck with Pferd abrasives. Years ago we used air grinders because electric got hot. We switched to electric quite a while ago. We have a couple of cordless if we need to cut soething out in the back of the yard, but I still like corded for in the shop.
