I need a 230mm diamond disc for cutting some paving slabs. I was
wondering which were good brands. I found a Bosch Universal one at B&Q
for £26.98:

But then I came across Faithfull blades but I was wondering if there
were any good? Like this one:

I didn't want to spend too much as its not for a big job and its for
occassional use after that. Its to be used with a Bosch GWS 22-230
angle grinder. Which is better out of these two?

Many thanks!

I found a perfectly servicable 115mm diamond cutting disk in my local
Poundwise for, as the shop name suggests, £1. At that price, I'm not
terribly worried whether it is the best make. I didn't take note of
whether they had any larger ones though.

Got mine in Aldi for less than a fiver at the same time I bought their
9" angle grinder. It's cut concrete tiles, block pavers and I used it
rather than hiring a Stihl saw when I needed to cut through a cavity
wall. Still going strong.

Toolstation do one for £12.

Lidl have a set of 4 4" ones for 4 quid next week - the 19th.

IME the expesive ones from B&Q are the crappest ones available, seriously -
they don't last as long as a £10 cheapo from a handymans shop.

Faithfull aren't at all bad, Rolson, which are even cheaper, are better
still for some bizzare reason and they cost about 6 - 8 quid a go.
I never buy anything else now and one rolson disk will easily cut 3 - 400
50mm paving flags

Diamond disks are very variable.
The cheapies are OK for most purposes but if you are cutting granite/granite aggregates (some paving stones), they won't look at them.

I think the cheapies have a lot less diamond dust in them.
And they wear out quicker.

Check if they need water cooling. Some do, some don't.

Oh and they are VERY dusty, you must have a face mask and goggles.
Hell of a mess to clear up afterwards if indoors.

Big angle grinders are beasts to handle with diamond disks, they can jam in the slot if the dust doesn't clear and have a savage kickback.

Well harry *is* several years out of date. He still thinks solar panels
are 'good for society' or some such crap.

I suspect the post from saddo.be (or something like that) woke the
thread in his newsreader. Yet that isn't the one he replied to.
