What Size Angel Grinder to Buy

| I want to buy a Angel Grinder, but I see they come in different sizes.
What is the most handy or most common size? I want to be able to get
the wheels in hardware stores, not have to mail order them.

IMHO, 7" is the "most popular". 4 1/2" is the "most handy". For lighter
metal, like up to 1/4" stock, the smaller grinder gets into tighter spaces.
If you're working with eye beams, you'll want a larger unit

Depends on what size angel you need to grind on. If it is an
archangel, then you may want to go with a 6" sidegrinder and a
lot of discs, because they are immortal. If you only have a
common angel or a cherub, then the 4" or 4-1/2" would be adequate.
If you have a fallen angel, such as satan, then you are on your
own. I have not found anything that will make a dent in those
except diamond impregnated discs on a stationary machine, but
then the problem is getting the fallen angel to the machine.

I thought you had to be a licensed ophthalmologist to work on eye beams.
Now I-beams (so called because they look like the capital letter I)
might be different. ;-)

When you grind the angels, you should wear eye protection because of
the wing and halo fragments can be really sharp :-)

Buster, when you start grinding on Angels, your dues had better be paid, or
you're in deep doo doo.
