I don't know if you've got these in the UK but just in case, a general warning...
I recently bought a few 125mm disks for my angle grinder which I thought could be used for "grinding" (something which most disks are NOT suitable for), as the disks bore the word GRINDING in big letters.
It turns out that this is the "trade name" of the disks, and in small print they are marked "not for grinding", as almost all other angle grinder (cut-off) disks are marked.

As you can imagine, this might cause a serious accident if anyone uses the disks for grinding; normal disks are not designed to tolerate side load and (could) will disintegrate with serious consequences.

Just thought I'd let you know. I don't think these disks would be on the UK market but you may find them in some places. Don't be fooled like I was!
