Cutting discs for stone and slabs

[bill_gj]

OK Chaps, I think that there's a concensus that the Smith & Arrow discs are pretty good in terms of cost+performance for steels - can someone recommend a similar performer for slabs and concrete?

diamond blades every time, cheap ones outlast abrasive many times

if you only have a few then any will be ok, if you have a lot get a brand name one.... i usually buy clipper, norton or marchrist, depending on application & offers

I bought a couple of spectrum ones back along, pretty good I thought. ten times better than cheapo screwfix no brand ones.

A diamond disc makes a huge difference for cutting stone. Much thinner cut, takes a lot less effort. Used to be very pricey but as other have said the basic ones can be bought for the equivalent of a handfull of abrasive discs.

I have an Aldi one in my 9" grinder which has given great service unlike an earlier nondescript one I had which would not cut no matter how hard you tried, just skated over the top of slabs.

Thanks chaps. My grinder takes 8 or 9 inch discs. I'll have a punt round local shops for a diamond cheapie and see how I get on.
