The cutoff disks are what I use, too. I bought a oxy/axc torch and priced a
plasma cutter. A cheap plasma rig cost $1400. I buy 4 1/2 disks and use them
in my electric grinder. They cost $1.98 at Home Depot, cut smooth with no
distortion. I use them for cutting ange & square tubing for brackets & motor
mounts. no clean up of the cuts.
