i have been given permission from SWMBO to get 1 (count em 1) tool to aid in
the restoration of the spit body work.  i have decided to get one that is air
powered, will do as many jobs as possible and is relatively cheap..( i know, i
know dream tool's)...i have come to the conclusion that either a 4/4.5 inch
grinder or 3 inch cut off tool is in order, as they are both roughly the same
price (within a couple of bucks) i just need to decide which one.  the usage
would be more toward a cutter, ie removing floor pans, cutting sill's/wings
etc. but would also like to have a grinder available to take off surface rust,
adjust mis manufactured parts etc.

question is can a grinder be succesfully used as a cut off tool with the
correct wheel...

will a 3 in wheel work on a 4.5 grinder, if no 4.5 cutoff wheel is available. 


is there another tool i havent found in my MSC catalog that would work as well
or do even more that i missed.
