I've been looking online for an angle grinder which cuts metal/stone and allows me to use a wire brush for removing paint from metal. Is this possible and, if so, is it easy, please?
Can I use an SDS drill as an angle grinder/wire brush etc.

Its actually the disc that you fix in the grinder that decides what you cut - and you can fix an appropriate wire brush in there too.
As for using an SDS drill, well I guess anything is possible if you can find a converter to fit in its chuck but it won't spin fast enough to be particularly effective.
Ideally a 115mm angle grinder will do what you need, but if you go for a wire brush accessory, just be sure it can cope with the high RPM - most don't!
Eye protection is of course vital with this machine.

True but if its only a one off job and it saves you buying another tool then it is possible.
