Not sure what you mean here 'A disposable 9" keeps the 4 1/2" running.'
A disposable 9" what? Grinder, wheel?? how does it keep the 4 1/2"
running?

Translation: Andy has a good quality 4 1/2" grinder, which he loves
fettling with. He chooses not to use it for cutting slabs, since (a)
it's the "wrong" tool for the job (cutting depth is limited), (b) he
doesn't want the masonry dust najjering the bearings in his decent grinder.

So he expresses a preference for buying a cheapie 9" grinder (these daya
available at about the same price as a day's hire of a decent-brand but
possibly rather worn one) and keeping it for slab cutting and similar
rough jobs.


You mean you can buy a 9" grinder and dimond disk for 18 quid?

(What I paid for a days hire of a massive one)

Tell me where?


I'm kinda with him on this one, but would add welding gauntlets, thick
trousers, decent workboots, and (most of all) standing to one side of
the work as sensible setup for using the 9".


********. I just picked it up and cut.

Got a few pits of hot sand on me arms. not as badas a missie bite.

I werar glasses tho.
