Talking of which, has anyone tried those new diamond cutting blades for
angle grinders that claim they can cut metal as well as masonry?

I wondered what the cut quality and speed is like in metal, and also how
well the blades stand up.


Yes. It transforms a cheap angle grinder into a useful tool.
The blades don't last for ever but they do last for a very long time. More
usefully they don't wear down smaller like abrasive cut-off discs,


Eventually they do..
