Required an angle grinder for cutting a rather thick slate hearth for a fireplace and came across this from Screwfix. Reviews sounded good so decided to go ahead but the offer Screwfix is doing until the end of May means you get the smaller one for free! Will be using the smaller one to cut one side off an old cast iron rolltop bath and turning it into a bench for the garden. I did buy diamond edged disks for cutting the slate hearth which came in at 2 for £20, also good reviews Product Code: 71137.

I have the 5" version and its had some abuse over the past few years cutting 2" flags, sharpening chisels, metal cutting but switch went faulty could not find one for this size plenty for 9" so in the end managed to open existing switch up was just burnt on the contact so cleaned it swapped - for + side contacts and back to fully working again so yes I highly recommend these just a tip I always use diamond blades for masonry type jobs as the blade never wears down in size so you always have full cut :smiley:

Sound tip Hoppie thanks. Added in to the details about diamond disks as screwfix do ones for £12 or 2 for £20 and they have good reviews. Since I'll be cutting a large thick slate hearth I need the cut to be smooth and slate can be a nightmare for chipping/flaking.
@matot, could you elaborate on things please as I've bought this based on other reviews so would like to hear your experience with this product before I take a 2 inch by 5ft slice from a very expensive slate hearth.

It'll probably be like any budget cheap tools, basically fine but don't expect it to last or be repairable. I don't generally approve, but if something has particularly good reviews or you're expecting minimal use could be the way to go.
Also, Screwfix are manipulative with pricing nowadays. The big grinder has been £50 and the small one £20.
Note the date on the cached page, less than six weeks ago. They just raised the price by the cost of the small grinder and called it a freebie. Always flipping prices around or combining products.

I'll add that I've a Titan wet/dry hoover, Titan edge sander, Titan multi cutter, Titan oscillating sander and Titan belt sander and although I'm juat a DIYer they have all been amazing products which have done the jobs required to a better standard than other more expensive branded products which I've used in the past.
