grinder

Just curious. Does anyone here use a 5" grinder? I have a 7" Milwaukee and a 4" Makita. I use the Makita for light weight, but it seems to eat discs quicker than the Milwaukee. Wondered how the 5" compared.

I use 5" grinders all the time...one with a 1/4" regular grinding wheel and the other with a .040" cutoff wheel. I rarely use my O/A cutting torch anymore. $ 1/2" grinders are just too wimpy for me, now after using the 5".
