Picked up some 115mm cutting discs for cutting steel from Wickes (£11
for 5 narrow discs) and noticed that they have 115mm Diamond edged
discs that also claim to be able to cut steel. The Diamond disc is
£25.

Question: Are Diamond discs worth the money? The packet claims that
the speed production because they need changing less frequently. Is
this so? That's not a problem from my point of view but are there any
other (or actual) benefits of using Diamond discs?

A diamond disc outlasts numerous grit discs, cuts faster, and is much
safer. Get one, its that simple. But forget paying £25, they're way
cheaper from toolsatan.

I bought a £1 diamond masonry disc from Poundland, on the basis that it
wasn't much to lose if it didn't work. I have not had any reason to
regret the purchase.
