We have a lower class ("King Craft") disc grinder, but due to its inherent dangers it is only available after an introduction. For small-scale applications, try using a rotary tool before you whip out this beast.

It can be used to cut or grind metal or stone, depending on the disc used. Aluminum can reportedly clog and overheat the disc, can anyone confirm this? The tool works with 125 mm discs.

Make sure the disc is securely fastened and spins without an offset before cutting anything!
