[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 404030, member: 13140"] Any welding supply will have good disks that can cut aluminum. Once you buy your cutoff disks, flapper sanding wheels and grinding disks from a real store you will only use your harbor freight disks when your neighbor wants to borrow your grinder. That's one of the reasons you dread it. The other is the noise and chips. Wearing a dust mask and hearing muffs when the grinder comes out makes it a lot nicer. Not using the china made disks that are made out of political prisoner body parts is the real ticket. One more tip that most don't know...When the cutoff wheel or grinder starts to chatter it's because the disk is too hot. Back off when it starts to chatter. Bad stuff can happen to a overheated disk. Good luck. I hate those cuts too. [/QUOTE]
