What are the best cutting wheels for general metal cutting with a 4.5" grinder? What are the best period, best bang for the buck, etc?

a little more expensive but try and find ones that are dished to do flush cuts. the dish keeps the spindle nut from rubbing on the work surface.

I use Norton Gemini cutting wheels. I paid $65.00 for the last 4 1/2" 20pk I bought. They do come with depressed centers.

I also use the Nortons.

But the plasma is the best tool for sheetmetal that I have at the moment.

I agree with Elroy and Mr fixit Metabo are fast cutting and pretty long lasting.:thumbup:
