What diameter angle grinder and size of post?
As per @lostinthelight 's post, more information would be useful.

They are super thin and cut faster.

Being thinner however means that you cannot abuse the blade as much. You really do need to make sure that you make a clean cut
Wear appropriate PPE etc.

So you are looking at approx 38mm depth of cut (according to my first google search).

I was given a box of parkside ones from Lidl and I just couldn't wear them out...the downside was they hardly marked the metal so promptly ended up in the bin
