Cutoff wheels and flapper disks for 4 1/2in angle grinders.

[ChristianHF]

Ok, so I just undertook my first welding project this weekend, I am making a propane forge for my blacksmithing hobby (the welder will figure in heavily to blacksmithing as well, or at least that's how I sold it to my wife ) All went well but I realized that the Dewalt cutoff wheels and flapper disks I bought at the local box store were utter crap. So I did what I typically do, got on the trusty interweb and became overwhelmed with the choices. I went to the LWS's web site and found several manufacturers of both cutoff wheels and flapper disks. I also saw that several manufacturers had developed 3 in 1 disks which I had never seen before. Here is a link to one of them: http://www.cgwheels.com/htmls/3-in-1...3187&bsp=13091

Anyone have any experience with the 3 in 1 type wheels? How about a suggestion for just a regular cutoff wheel and flapper disk? I am cutting mainly 16 gauge mild steel sheet and dressing my rather ugly welds. Thanks in advance.

Your link doesn't work for me. I don't hardly ever use cut off wheels, when I do I just pick them up at the local ACE hardware store. Far as sanding disc I only use these, in 36, and 80-grit on a 4-inch angle grinder.

Heres my weapons of choice for the most part at home, work is a different story.

The wheels at cgwheels is for SS. I don't know if there are others for the mild steel or not; no experience with 3-in-1's.
